As a general method for producing a conventional thermoplastic resin foam,
A method is known in which a resin and a foaming agent are melt-kneaded in an extruder, and the foamable kneaded product is adjusted to a temperature suitable for foaming, and then extruded from an extruder to foam, but polypropylene resin is suitable for foaming. Since the temperature range of viscoelasticity is extremely narrow, it is difficult to adjust the proper foaming temperature, and it is difficult to obtain a good foam by simply melt-kneading a polypropylene resin with a foaming agent and extruding. It was

In order to solve the above problems, various methods have been conventionally proposed, for example, polypropylene is mixed with a resin having a melting point of 140 ° C. or lower, and the resin mixture is melt-kneaded with a volatile foaming agent having a critical temperature of 160 ° C. or higher. Then, extrusion foaming method (JP-A-60-255834), ethylene-propylene block copolymer and ethylene-propylene-butene random copolymer are mixed and melt-kneaded with a foaming agent, and then extrusion foaming.

All of the above methods solve the problem that the proper foaming temperature range is narrow, which has been a problem in producing a polypropylene resin foam, and provide a foam capable of sufficiently exhibiting the excellent physical properties of the polypropylene resin. However, in the method of (1), if the mixing amount of the resin having a melting point of 140 ° C. or less with respect to polypropylene is small, the proper foaming temperature range cannot be expanded. Conversely, if the mixing amount is increased, the foaming proper temperature range cannot be expanded. However, there is a drawback in that the heat resistance of the foam tends to be greatly reduced. Further, since the ethylene-propylene-butene random copolymer used in the other method is relatively expensive, there is a drawback that the cost of the foam becomes expensive although the foaming proper temperature range can be widened when the addition amount increases. It was Furthermore, in any of the above methods, the obtained foam has a drawback that it tends to become open cells,
In order to obtain a foam having a high closed cell rate, it is necessary to strictly set the foaming conditions, and there is a problem that the management of the foaming conditions becomes complicated.
