  • Publication number: 20240150579
    Abstract: A molded body includes a non-foamed design layer, a foamed intermediate layer, and a non-foamed back layer, laminated in this order and formed of a first, second, and third resin compositions, respectively. The first, second, and third resin compositions contain a polyolefin as a main component. The first resin composition is an impact-resistant resin composition including a polyolefin, a polyamide, and a polyolefin-based modified elastomer having a reactive group reactive with the polyamide. A method of producing the molded body includes disposing a first support layer to serve as the design layer and a third support layer to serve as the back layer so as to be spaced apart from and face each other, interposing the second resin composition provided with foamability in a gap between the first and third support layers, and forming the intermediate layer by expanding the gap while causing the second resin composition to foam.

  • Patent number: 9840615
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a thermoplastic resin composition which exhibits excellent rigidity, while having excellent impact strength characteristics; and a method for producing the thermoplastic resin composition. This thermoplastic resin composition, wherein a polyolefin resin contains a polyamide resin that is dispersed therein, is characterized in that: the thermoplastic resin composition is obtained by melting and kneading a polyolefin resin and a mixed resin that is obtained by melting and kneading a polyamide resin and a compatibilizer; and the compatibilizer is a modified elastomer that is obtained by providing an elastomer (such as an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer or a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer) with a reactive group that is reactive with the polyamide resin.

  • Patent number: 6576172
    Abstract: A processed material in which a fibrous binder is mixed with chip-like solid matters such as soft urethane foam is quickly injected into a preform mold having a flat molding surface with a uniform filling density, and then fed to a main mold having a molding surface whose shape corresponds to that of a sound-proof product to be formed, so that main molding is performed under sufficient pressure and heat. With the main molding carried out after the preform molding, it is possible to manufacture sound-proof products of excellent quality.
