Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to the present invention, provided is a foam molding resin containing low-density polyethylene, wherein a strain hardening degree of the low-density polyethylene is equal to or more than 0.40.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a foam molded article by blow molding or vacuum molding, comprising steps of: extruding, from a foam extruder, a melt-kneaded resin obtained by melt-kneading a foam molding resin and a foaming agent in the foam extruder to form a foamed parison; and molding the foamed parison by blow molding or vacuum molding to obtain the foam molded article, wherein the foam molding resin contains low-density polyethylene, a strain hardening degree of the low-density polyethylene is equal to or more than 0.40, and melt tension of the low-density polyethylene is equal to or more than 250 mN. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the foam molding resin further contains high-density polyethylene. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a mass ratio of the low-density polyethylene and the high-density polyethylene is 2:8 to 8:2. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein shear viscosity of the low-density polyethylene is equal to or more than 450 Pa·s. 5. A method for producing a foam molded article by blow molding or vacuum molding, comprising steps of: extruding, from a foam extruder, a melt-kneaded resin obtained by melt-kneading a foam molding resin and a foaming agent in the foam extruder to form a foamed parison; and molding the foamed parison by blow molding or vacuum molding to obtain the foam molded article, wherein the foam molding resin contains low-density polyethylene, a strain hardening degree of the low-density polyethylene is equal to or more than 0.40, and shear viscosity of the low-density polyethylene is equal to or more than 450 Pa·s. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the foam molding resin further contains high-density polyethylene. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a mass ratio of the low-density polyethylene and the high-density polyethylene is 2:8 to 8:2. 8. The method of claim 5 , wherein melt tension of the low-density polyethylene is equal to or more than 250 mN.
