Abstract:
Polyethylene-based resin foamed particles are obtained having good productivity, achieve an increase in foaming ratio, and in which a miniaturization of the average cell diameter is suppressed. A polyethylene-based resin in-mold-foam-molded body using the foamed particles is reduced in yellowing of the surface of the molded body and has favorable surface beauty (surface smoothness). The foamed particles contain, as a base resin, a polyethylene-based resin composition containing 1000 ppm or more and 4000 ppm or less in total of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of antioxidants, metal stearates, and inorganic substances and 50 ppm or more and 20000 ppm or less of hydrophilic compounds, in which the Z average molecular weight is 30×104 or more and 100×104 or less, the surface layer film thickness is 11 μm or more and 120 μm or less, and the open-cell ratio is 12% or less.

Abstract:
A method for producing polyethylene-based resin foamed particles includes a first-step foaming process. The first-step foaming process includes: producing an aqueous dispersion by dispersing polyethylene-based resin particles in an aqueous dispersing medium in a sealed vessel, adding a carbon dioxide-containing foaming agent to the aqueous dispersion in the sealed vessel, heating and pressurizing the aqueous dispersion in the sealed vessel, and releasing the aqueous dispersion in the sealed vessel to a pressure region where a pressure is lower than an internal pressure of the sealed vessel. The foaming ratio in the first-step foaming process is 10 to 18 times. The polyethylene-based resin particles have a polyethylene-based base resin and a melting point of 105 to 125° C., a tan δ of 0.3 to 0.7, and a complex viscosity of 5000 to 20000 Pa·s.
