2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of obtaining expandable colored resin particles, after dispersing thermoplastic resin particles in an aqueous medium,
A method of dispersing a dye having a maximum length of 300 μm or more and a content of 40% or less in an aqueous medium when impregnating a volatile foaming agent has been proposed (JP-A-6-
157805). However, with this method,
When a dye dispersion prepared by decomposing the dye in the presence of an anionic surfactant is agitated with a propeller blade, the dispersion is insufficient and the dye does not adsorb finely and uniformly on the surface of the thermoplastic resin particles, resulting in coarse particles. Since it is adsorbed in the state, the color unevenness of the molded product remarkably occurs. Therefore, there is a problem that the dye has to be dispersed by stirring with a homomixer having a higher stirring ability than the propeller blade and having a function of crushing the dye for 10 minutes or more. Also, when two or more types of dyes are used, color unevenness is more likely to occur than when one type of dye is used due to the difference in absorption rate of each dye, and when scaled up to the main production The occurrence of color unevenness becomes more remarkable.

It has been proposed to produce expandable styrenic polymer beads by impregnating resin particles with a blowing agent in an aqueous suspension medium containing 005 to 0.3% by weight (based on water). According to this method, the pre-expanded polymer beads have a cell structure in which the cells of the beads after pre-expansion become nonuniform, that is, the cells become smaller toward the outer periphery and become larger toward the core. Is obtained [see FIG. 2]. Such non-uniform beads
It has been reported that it is preferable to have a uniform cell distribution in order to shorten the cooling time in the final molding process. It is also reported that the beads can contain a dye.

However, when a dye is contained in such expandable styrenic polymer beads, there is a problem that the color appears light because the cells around the outside are small. Therefore, the amount of the dye added must be increased in order to obtain the same shade as that of the colored beads having a uniform cell distribution, and a larger amount of dye is required for coloring in a particularly deep color. When a large amount of dye is used, the dye is not absorbed by the resin and remains in the reaction liquid in a large amount, which makes wastewater treatment complicated.

More preferably, it is 8000-15000. In addition,
The weight average molecular weight is measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). When the weight average molecular weight of the nonionic surfactant is less than 6500, the nonionic surfactant is excessively absorbed in the thermoplastic resin particles. The excessively absorbed nonionic surfactant acts as a cell nucleating agent, and the cell size of the obtained foam becomes smaller toward the outer periphery, so that the color of the colored resin foam molded article becomes lighter. Further, when the weight average molecular weight of the nonionic surfactant exceeds 20,000, the absorption into the thermoplastic resin particles is reduced, and the effect of the present invention may be reduced.

The nonionic surfactant is considered to act as a protective colloid for the dye dispersed in the aqueous dispersion so as to surround and surround the dye, and prevent the dyes from aggregating into coarse particles. , Has the effect of keeping the dye as fine particles. When the dye is fine particles, it is finely and uniformly dispersed and adsorbed on the surface of the thermoplastic resin particles, but when it becomes coarse particles, it is adsorbed by adhering as large lumps on the surface of the resin particles. Because it will be
The color of the surface of the resin particles becomes dark, resulting in uneven coloration when the resin foam molding is formed.

As the nonionic surfactant, a block copolymer of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide is preferable in that it does not affect the cell size in the obtained foam and does not cause color unevenness. Here, ethylene oxide plays a role of a hydrophilic group which is easily adapted to water, and propylene oxide plays a role of a lipophilic group which is not easily adapted to water.

The content of ethylene oxide in the block copolymer is preferably 20 to 95% by weight, and 40 to 9% by weight.
5% by weight is more preferable, and 60 to 90% by weight is particularly preferable. When the content of ethylene oxide is less than 20% by weight, the nonionic surfactant becomes hardly soluble in the aqueous dispersion,
It is not preferable because it becomes difficult to fulfill the role as an activator. Further, when the content of ethylene oxide exceeds 95% by weight, it becomes easy to dissolve in the aqueous dispersion, but on the other hand, the compatibility with the thermoplastic resin particles and the dye becomes low, and the effect of acting as a protective colloid also becomes low. It is not preferable because it becomes difficult to finely and uniformly disperse and adsorb on the surface of the resin particles.

The amount of the nonionic surfactant added is preferably 0.001 to 1% by weight based on the thermoplastic resin particles,

If the addition amount of the nonionic surfactant is less than 0.001% by weight, it is difficult to exert a uniform coloring effect, and if it exceeds 1% by weight, the dispersion system is broken and the resin particles are likely to be fused with each other. It is not preferable.

Examples of the dyes include monoazo dyes, anthraquinone dyes, disazo dyes, perinone dyes and phthalocyanine dyes. These dyes can be used alone or in combination of two or more. If two or more dyes are used in combination,
It is preferable in that various colors can be provided according to customer's taste. The addition amount of the dye is preferably about 0.0005 to 2% by weight with respect to the thermoplastic resin particles. When the amount of the dye added is less than 0.0005% by weight, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient coloring effect. If it exceeds 2% by weight, the dye becomes difficult to be absorbed by the resin, and the dye remains in the aqueous dispersion,
It is not preferable because wastewater treatment becomes complicated. Since the dye does not disperse well even if it is added directly to the aqueous dispersion, it is preferable to add a dye dispersed in an appropriate liquid in advance to form a dye dispersion.
