METHOD FOR POST-TREATING PREEXPANDED PARTICLES OF POLYOLEFIN RESIN

摘要

Post-treatment method of polyolefin resin pre-expanded particles comprising: introducing the polyolefin resin pre-expanded particles foamed by using an inflammable blowing agent into an extraction vessel filled with steam previously; feeding an additional steam into the extraction vessel; extracting the inflammable blowing agent gas from the polyolefin resin pre-expanded particles; discharging the resulting steam which contains the extracted inflammable blowing agent gas from the extraction vessel continuously or intermittently; and liquefying the steam to separate and recover the inflammable blowing agent gas. According to the post-treatment method of polyolefin resin pre-expanded particles, the inflammable blowing agent can be extracted from the pre-expanded particles in a short period of time and the extracted inflammable blowing agent can be re-used.
