Abstract
A method for production of an extruded, polystyrene-based foam plate wherein a polystyrene-based resin is heated and kneaded together with a blowing agent, a flame retardant and a nucleating agent in an extruder to obtain a foamable molten composition, and the foamable molten composition is extruded through a die attached to an end of the extruder into a lower pressure zone. The blowing agent comprises not smaller than 25% by weight but not greater than 65% by weight, based on the total weight of the blowing agent, of an isobutane-containing saturated hydrocarbon; not smaller than 5% by weight but not greater than 70% by weight, based on the total weight of the blowing agent, of a dimethyl ether-containing ether; not smaller than 5% by weight but not greater than 55% by weight, based on the total weight of the blowing agent, of carbon dioxide; and 0–25% by weight, based on the total weight of the blowing agent, of other blowing agent components.
