The present invention relates to a transparent polypropylene based sheet
and its manufacturing method capable of: providing proper properties as a
transparent sheet such as tensile characteristic, impact resistance,
rigidity and little generation of whitening when being folded as well as
maintaining transparency; preventing generation of a gum-like material in
molding; and realizing continuous production. A manufacturing machine 1
includes: an extruding unit 11 for melting and kneading a raw material
and extruding the material into a sheet-like shape; a first cooling unit
12 for cooling the melted sheet-like resin composition 20a to obtain a
sheet (sheet-like article) 20; a preheating unit 13 for reheating the
sheet 20; a heat treatment unit 14 for heat-treating the sheet-like resin
composition 20; and a second cooling unit 15 for cooling the heat-treated
sheet 20. The raw material of a resulting sheet 21 contains a
polypropylene resin (a) and a metallocene-type ethylene-.alpha.-olefin
copolymer (b).
