METHOD FOR PRODUCING FORMED PLASTIC ARTICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a formed plastic article having uniform flexural strength, and the like, as a whole and able to be nailed and screwed.

SOLUTION: A fiber product containing a high-melting component and a low-melting component is prepared beforehand. A concrete example of the fiber product is the one containing a conjugate fiber composed of a high-melting component conjugated with a low-melting component. For example, the fiber product contains a sheath-core conjugate fiber composed of a core component comprising a polyethylene terephthalate as the high-melting component and a sheath component comprising a polyethylene as the low-melting component. The fiber product may contain a high-melting fiber composed solely of the high-melting component and a low-melting fiber composed solely of the low- melting component. The fiber product is heated to melt the low-melting component while essentially keeping the fibrous state of the high-melting component, formed to a prescribed form and cooled to obtain the formed plastic article. A plastic pallet can be formed by nailing or screwing plastic plates formed by the method.
