という問題があった。Conventionally, polypropylene resin particles containing a volatile organic blowing agent are dispersed in an aqueous medium and heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the softening temperature of the resin while maintaining the pressure inside the container at the vapor pressure of the blowing agent or higher. A method of foaming by discharging into a low-pressure atmosphere from inside a pressurized container is known. In this case, known volatile organic blowing agents include, for example, propane, butane, pentane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, and the like. However, such volatile organic blowing agents can be dangerous due to their toxicity and flammability depending on the blowing agent, and even those that do not pose much of a problem in terms of danger are expensive and pose practical problems. In addition, it also caused environmental pollution problems, such as destroying the ozone layer when released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, since these volatile organic blowing agents swell the polymer particles, the suitable temperature range for foaming during foaming is narrow, and the influence of foaming temperature on the expansion ratio is large, making it difficult to control the expansion ratio. There was a problem.

Furthermore, in this case, it has been found that the foaming ratio can be improved even when an inorganic gas, which has not been considered as a foaming agent in the past, is used as a foaming agent.

、あるいは発泡温度に達した時期に行うことができる。As the blowing agent in the present invention, a volatile organic blowing agent and an inorganic gas blowing agent are used, and both blowing agents can also be used in combination. In this case, volatile organic blowing agents include conventionally known ones such as propane, butane, pentane, dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, etc., and examples of inorganic gas blowing agents include nitrogen, air, Examples include various inorganic substances that are gaseous at room temperature, such as carbon dioxide, argon, and helium. In the blowing agent used in the present invention, the amount of the volatile organic blowing agent used is 2 to 25 parts by weight, preferably 3 to 20 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the resin. When using an inorganic gas as a blowing agent, the pressure inside the container is preferably higher, but generally 100 kg/
It is preferable to pressurize at a pressure of cJG or less from the viewpoint of particle deformation during foaming, and usually a pressure of 70 kg/alG or less is preferable. Moreover, the pressurization by this inorganic gas is at least 15 kg/a&G, preferably 20 kg/cJG or more. The time to pressurize with inorganic gas varies depending on the pressure, but at temperatures above the melting point of the resin, it takes several seconds to
It takes about 1 hour, and usually about 5 to 30 minutes is sufficient. This pressurization of the contents of the container with the inorganic gas can be performed at any time, and can be performed immediately after filling the contents of the container, while the temperature is rising, or when the foaming temperature is reached.

ある。To carry out the method of the present invention, the above-described crystal nucleating agent-containing polypropylene resin particles, an anti-fusing agent,
and an aqueous medium (usually water) and, after heating to the foaming temperature in the presence of a blowing agent, the contents of the container are discharged from its pressurized zone into a lower pressure zone (usually atmospheric pressure) containing the blowing agent. foam the resin particles. In this case, the foaming temperature is generally higher than the softening point of the resin. Note that the softening point of the resin referred to in this specification is determined under the condition of a load of 4.6 kg/cd in ASTM-D648.

The expandable resin particles in which the secondary crystals are present provide expanded particles with good moldability. When a non-crosslinked polypropylene resin is used as the raw material resin, it is particularly advantageous to have secondary crystals present in the expandable resin particles.

This can be determined using the C curve. In this case, the DSC curve obtained by differential scanning calorimetry of foamed resin particles is defined as 1 to 3 mg of foamed polypropylene resin particles measured at a heating rate of 10°C/min to 220°C using a differential scanning calorimeter.
For example, the first DSC curve is the DSC curve obtained when the sample is heated from room temperature to 220°C at a heating rate of 10°C/min. ℃ to 10℃ at a cooling rate of 7 minutes
The temperature was lowered to around ℃, and the temperature was increased again to 22℃ at a heating rate of 10"C/min.
The DSC curve obtained when the temperature was raised to 0°C was
The characteristic peak and the high temperature peak can be obtained from these DSC curves. Further, in this case, the characteristic peak is considered to be due to the so-called heat absorption during melting of the polypropylene resin constituting the expanded particles. This unique peak appears in both the first and second DSC curves, and the temperature at the top of the peak may differ slightly between the first and second times, but the difference is 5°C.

上、好ましくは10℃以上である。On the other hand, the high temperature peak is an endothermic peak that appears on the higher temperature side than the above-mentioned characteristic peak in the first DSC curve. The presence of secondary crystals in the resin particles is determined by whether or not this high temperature peak appears in the DSC curve, and if no substantial high temperature peak appears, it is assumed that there are no secondary crystals in the resin. It will be judged. In the case of the present invention, it is desirable that the difference between the temperature of the characteristic peak appearing in the second DSC curve and the temperature of the high temperature peak appearing in the first DSC curve is large; The difference between the temperature at the peak and the temperature at the peak of the high temperature peak is 5°C or more, preferably 10°C or more.

了温度以上の温度で発泡されたことによる。Next, the DSC curve obtained by differential scanning calorimetry for expanded particles is shown in the drawing. FIG. 1 relates to expanded particles containing secondary crystals, and FIG. 2 relates to expanded particles containing no secondary crystals. In FIGS. 1 and 2, curves 1 and 2 show DSC curves obtained by measuring expanded particles as a sample (first measurement), and curves 1' and 2' show DSC curves obtained by measuring expanded particles as a sample (first measurement). A DSC curve obtained by measuring the sample again after the first measurement (second measurement) is shown. As can be seen by comparing Figures 1 and 2, in the case of expanded particles containing secondary crystals, in curve 1 showing the first measurement results, in addition to the characteristic peak B, there is a high temperature peak A. The presence of this high temperature peak A confirms the presence of secondary crystals in the expanded particles. On the other hand, in the case of expanded particles that do not contain secondary crystals, in curve 2 showing the first measurement results, only the characteristic peak b appears and no high temperature peak appears, indicating that the expanded particles contain secondary crystals. It is confirmed that there is no The reason why there are no secondary crystals in the foamed particles shown in Figure 2 is that the raw material unfoamed resin particles were not heat-treated for a sufficient period of time at a temperature that promotes secondary crystallization (melting point to below the melting end temperature), which is higher than the melting end temperature. This is due to the fact that it was foamed at a temperature of .
