Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of producing a polyethylene resin expanded molded product includes filling a mold with expanded polyethylene resin particles, wherein an internal pressure of 0.12 to 0.16 MPa is applied to the expanded polyethylene resin particles in the mold, and forming the polyethylene resin expanded molded product by heating the expanded polyethylene resin particles and fusing the expanded polyethylene resin particles. The expanded polyethylene resin particles includes 100 parts by weight of a polyethylene resin, 0.08 to 0.25 parts by weight of a cell nucleating agent, 0.3 to 0.8 parts by weight of a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester, and 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of a hydrophilic compound, each of the expanded polyethylene resin particles having a weight of 2.5 to 3.5 mg. The polyethylene resin expanded molded product has a density of 0.017 to 0.021 g/cm3 and a thickness of 10 to 40 mm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of producing a polyethylene resin expanded molded product, the method comprising: filling a mold with expanded polyethylene resin particles, wherein an internal pressure of 0.12 to 0.16 MPa is applied to the expanded polyethylene resin particles in the mold; and forming the polyethylene resin expanded molded product by heating the expanded polyethylene resin particles and fusing the expanded polyethylene resin particles, wherein the expanded polyethylene resin particles comprise: 100 parts by weight of a polyethylene resin; 0.08 to 0.25 parts by weight of a cell nucleating agent; 0.3 to 0.8 parts by weight of a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester; and 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of a hydrophilic compound, each of the expanded polyethylene resin particles having a weight of 2.5 to 3.5 mg, and wherein the polyethylene resin expanded molded product has a density of 0.017 to 0.021 g/cm 3 and a thickness of 10 to 40 mm. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester is a glycerin fatty acid ester. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cell nucleating agent is an inorganic nucleating agent. 4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the cell nucleating agent is an inorganic nucleating agent. 5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the cell nucleating agent is selected from the group of consisting of talc, calcium stearate, calcium carbonate, silica, kaolin, titanium oxide, bentonite, and barium sulphate. 6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the cell nucleating agent is selected from the group of consisting of talc, calcium stearate, calcium carbonate, silica, kaolin, titanium oxide, bentonite, and barium sulphate. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrophilic compound is a compound comprising a carboxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a hydroxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising an amino group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a sulfo group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a polyoxyethylene group or a derivative thereof, or a hydrophilic polymer. 8. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the hydrophilic compound is a compound comprising a carboxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a hydroxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising an amino group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a sulfo group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a polyoxyethylene group or a derivative thereof, or a hydrophilic polymer. 9. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the hydrophilic compound is a compound comprising a carboxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a hydroxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising an amino group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a sulfa group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a polyoxyethylene group or a derivative thereof, or a hydrophilic polymer. 10. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the hydrophilic compound is a compound comprising a carboxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a hydroxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising an amino group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a sulfo group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a polyoxyethylene group or a derivative thereof, or a hydrophilic polymer. 11. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the hydrophilic compound is a compound comprising a carboxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a hydroxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising an amino group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a sulfo group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a polyoxyethylene group or a derivative thereof, or a hydrophilic polymer. 12. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the hydrophilic compound is a compound comprising a carboxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a hydroxyl group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising an amino group or a derivative thereof, a compound comprising a sulfo group or a derivative thereof a compound comprising a polyoxyethylene group or a derivative thereof, or a hydrophilic polymer.
