  • Publication number: 20170008259
    Abstract: A closed-cell foam water-stop sheet with an adhesion layer, wherein the closed-cell foam water-stop sheet comprises: the adhesion layer that comprises a rubber component (A) having a total content of 80% by mass or more of a butyl rubber (a1) and an ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (a2), and a petroleum resin-based tackifier (B), the adhesion layer having a thickness of 0.01 to 2.0 mm; and a closed-cell foam sheet having a closed cell ratio of 70% or more, the closed-cell foam sheet being integrally attached to the adhesion layer, and wherein a mass ratio of the ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (a2) to the butyl rubber (a1) [(a2)/(a1)] is 0/100 to 93/7, a content of the petroleum resin-based tackifier (B) is 0.5 to 20 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the rubber component (A), and the closed-cell foam water-stop sheet with an adhesion layer has a 25% compression stress of 10 to 800 kPa.

  • Patent number: 8529817
    Abstract: The present invention provides a stretched thermoplastic resin foam sheet that has excellent flexibility even compressed to a thickness as thin as about 0.05 mm, and a method for producing the same. The stretched thermoplastic resin foam sheet of the present invention is producible by stretching a thermoplastic resin foam sheet and has a compressive strength of 1 to 500 kPa as measured in accordance with JIS K6767 when compressed in a thickness direction thereof to a thickness of 0.05 mm. Accordingly, the stretched thermoplastic resin foam sheet has excellent flexibility even compressed to a thickness as thin as about 0.05 mm and is suitably used as a sealing material for a small electronic device such as mobile phones.
