Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing a foamed polyolefin sheet which comprises the steps of laminating a film of noncross-linked thermoplastic resin free from a cross-linking agent to at least one surface of a cross-linked polyolefin base sheet containing a thermally decomposable foaming agent or a polyolefin base sheet containing the above-mentioned foaming agent and a cross-linking agent, and carrying out the thermal foaming of said film-fitted sheet while placing it on a supporting member under atmospheric pressure with the film-laminated surface of the polyolefin sheet being in contact with said supporting member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A method of manufacturing a composite foamed polyolefin sheet which comprises the steps of laminating a film of noncross-linked thermoplastic resin free from a crosslinking agent to at least one surface of a crosslinked polyolefin base sheet containing a thermally decomposable foaming agent or a polyolefin base sheet containing a foaming agent and a crosslinking agent, and carrying out thermal foaming of said film-laminated sheet by heating said sheet on a supporting member under atmospheric pressure with the non-crosslinked resin film laminated to the sheet being in contact with the supporting member.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
92 words
A method of manufacturing a composite foamed polyolefin sheet which comprises the steps of laminating a film of noncross-linked thermoplastic resin free from a crosslinking agent to at least one surface of a crosslinked polyolefin base sheet containing a thermally decomposable foaming agent or a polyolefin base sheet containing a foaming agent and a crosslinking agent, and carrying out thermal foaming of said film-laminated sheet by heating said sheet on a supporting member under atmospheric pressure with the non-crosslinked resin film laminated to the sheet being in contact with the supporting member.
