Abstract:
When it is intended to obtain foamed particles having a high expansion ratio upon the production of foamed particles of a polyolefin resin, there has been a problem that foamed particles uneven in cell diameter are produced. Any molded article produced with such foamed particles has involved a drawback that it is poor in dimensional stability, and its surface profile becomes uneven. The invention relates to foamed particles comprising a polyolefin resin as a base resin, wherein the base resin contains a metal salt (excluding alkali metal salts) of boric acid in such a manner that the content of the metal salt of boric acid in the raw resin amounts to 50-50,000 ppm. Zinc borate, magnesium borate or the like is used as the metal salt of boric acid. The foamed particles are obtained by using a polyolefin resin containing the metal salt of boric acid to prepare resin particles, dispersing the resin particles in a dispersion medium in a closed vessel and at the same time impregnating the resin particles with a foaming agent, holding the resin particles in a heated and pressurized atmosphere, and then releasing the resin particles together with the dispersion medium into an atmosphere of a pressure lower than the internal pressure of the vessel to expand the resin particles.

The prepared polymer particles impregnated with the carbon dioxide and the dispersion medium are subsequently discharged from the interior of the container into an atmosphere under a lower pressure than that in the aforementioned container to expand the polymer particles.
