摘要 Production of a foamed polyolefin composite sheet, which comprises milling the polyolefin with a cross-linking agent and a blowing agent homogeneously to obtain a composition, moulding the composition into a sheet, adhering the sheet with a lining such as cloth or paper by means of an adhesive to form a composite sheet and then heating the composite sheet at a temperature higher than the decomposition temperatures of the cross-linking agent and the blowing agent to form cross-linkage and foam and subjecting to embossing.
权利要求
  • 2. A method for producing a foamed polyolefin composite sheet which comprises homogeneously milling a solid crystalline thermoplastic polyolefin selected from the group consisting of high, medium and low pressure process polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene-1, ethylene-propylene copolymers, ethylene-butene copolymers, ethylene-styrene copolymers, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymers, ethylene-acrylic acid ester copolymers, propylene-butene copolymers and a mixture of two or more of these polyolefins with a cross-linking agent capable of cross-linking said polyolefin and selected from group consisting of organic peroxide, polysulphonazides, azidoformates, aromatic polyazides and quinonedioximes, and a blowing agent selected from the group consisting of p,p''-oxybis-benzene-sulfonyl hydrazide, azodicarbonamide and dinitroso-pentamethylene-tetramine, at a temperature sufficient to melt said polyolefin but not to decompose said cross-linking agent and said blowing agent to obtain a composition, molding said composition into a thin sheet by means of a calender or an extruder at substantially the same temperature as described above, bonding said sheet with a lining selected from the group consisting of woven fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, paper and metal foils to form a composite sheet by means of an adhesive, bonding a polyolefin layer containing no blowing agent on the surface of the polyolefin side of the above-described composition to form a laminate sheet, heating said laminate sheet at a temperature higher than the decomposition temperatures of the cross-linking agent and the blowing agent under atmospheric pressure to form cross-linkage and foam in said polyolefin, and subjecting the thus treated sheet to embossing.
  • 3. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said olefin composition containing no blowing agent contains a cross-linking agent.
  • 4. A method for producing a foamed polyolefin composite sheet, which comprises homogeneously milling a solid crystalline thermoplastic polyolefin selected from the group consisting of high, medium and low pressure process polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene-1, ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene-butene copolymer, ethylene-styrene copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid ester copolymer, propylene-butene copolymer and a mixture of two or more of these polyolefins with a cross-linking agent capable of cross-linking said polyolefin and selected from the group consisting of organic peroxide, polysulphonazides, azidoformates, aromatic polyazides and quinonedioximes and a blowing agent selected from the group consisting of p,p''-oxybis-benzene-sulfonyl hydrazide, azodicarbonamide and dinitroso-pentamethylene-tetramine, at a temperature sufficient to melt said polyolefin but not to decompose said cross-linking agent and said blowing agent to obtain a composition, molding said composition into a thin sheet by means of a calendar or an extruder at substantially the same temperature as described above, bonding said sheet with a lining sheet selected from the group consisting of woven fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, paper and metal foils to form a composite sheet by means of an adhesive, heating said composite sheet at a temperature higher than the decompOsition temperature of said cross-linking agent under atmospheric pressure to form cross-linkage and foam in said polyolefin and subjecting said thus treated sheet to embossing.
