Abstract:
A bulk-density measuring device includes a first vessel in which contracted pre-expanded particles are swollen and recovered from contraction in a pressure-reduced state where a vessel internal pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure; a second vessel filled with the pre-expanded particles after being swollen in the first vessel in the pressure-reduced state where a vessel internal pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure, and into which the pre-expanded particles of a constant volume are collected fractionally; a pressure-reducing unit that adjusts the vessel internal pressures of the first vessel and the second vessel to be lower than the atmospheric pressure; and a scale that measures a weight of the pre-expanded particles filled in the second vessel.
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.
