覆すること等も知ら九でいる。In order to prevent the pre-expanded particles from bonding to each other during pre-expanding, the expandable thermoplastic resin particles are coated with an agglomeration inhibitor such as zinc stearate or aliphatic carboxylic acid amide. Are known. Similarly, during heat molding, the expandable resin particles are coated with a fusion promoter such as an aliphatic amine or an aliphatic amide in order to promote fusion due to heating of the pre-expanded particles filled in the mold cavity. It is also known that Furthermore, it is also known to coat the surface of expandable resin particles with a molding cycle accelerator such as carboxylic acid amide or higher aliphatic triglyceride in order to shorten molding time, especially cooling time.
従来、発泡性樹脂粒子に、上記の如き表面処理剤を被覆

ー等の比較的エネルギーの小さい混合機を使用して処理
することが行なわれている。Conventionally, when foamable resin particles are coated with a surface treatment agent such as the one described above, the treatment is carried out using a relatively low-energy mixer such as a double cone mixer or a Knutter mixer.

壁に付着したり、或は排気口より飛散する等の薬剤粉末
剥離のトラブルを生ずる欠点があった。According to such conventional methods, the adhesion between the foamable resin particles and the surface treatment agent is weak, so when the foamable resin particles are removed by a transportation hose during a pre-foaming step, etc., the treatment material may adhere to the inner wall of the transportation hose, or Alternatively, there is a drawback that troubles such as chemical powder peeling off, such as scattering from the exhaust port, occur.

要とし、実用的ではない。In order to overcome these conventional drawbacks, it is conceivable to process the powder using a low-energy mixer until the problem of powder peeling is prevented, but such a method requires a very long processing time and is not practical.

It was found that there were defects that resulted in poor quality.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for effectively coating plastic resin particles with a surface treatment agent.

造方法である。(Means for Solving the Problems) That is, 1 the present invention charges expandable thermoplastic resin particles and a surface treatment agent in a predetermined ratio into a high-energy mixer, and uses the mixer to mix the expandable resin particles. This is a method for producing expandable thermoplastic resin particles whose surfaces are coated with the surface treatment agent by stirring and mixing at high speed while maintaining the temperature below the temperature at which foaming occurs.

機であって1例えばヘンシェルミキサー、スーパーミキ
サー等の容器固定式高速流動型混合機を指すのである。Therefore, 1. The surface treatment agent in the present invention refers to the above-mentioned agglomeration inhibitor, fusion promoter, molding cycle accelerator, etc., which is coated on the surface of the expandable thermoplastic resin particles. This refers to a treatment agent that improves the properties of the surface treatment agent, and the effect is particularly remarkable when a molding cycle accelerator is used as the surface treatment agent. By the way, the high-energy mixer in the present invention is a mixer having high-speed rotating stirring blades with a circumferential speed of 20 m/s or more, preferably 30 m/s or more, such as a container-fixed high-speed mixer such as a Henschel mixer or a super mixer. This refers to a fluidized mixer.

処理剤が被覆された発泡性粒子が得られる。When a foamable thermoplastic resin and a surface treatment agent are charged into a mixer equipped with such a high-speed rotating stirring blade and stirred at high speed, the treatment agent becomes firmly attached to the surface of the resin particles due to the action of a strong shearing force. It is possible to obtain expandable particles coated with a surface treatment agent that adheres to the powder and does not cause problems such as powder peeling.

ル促進剤が本発明において最も効果が顕著である。Therefore, the expandable thermoplastic resin particles used in the present invention include polystyrene resin, polymethacrylate resin,
These are particles of thermoplastic resin, such as polyethylene resin, singly or mixed, with a blowing agent such as propane or butane dichlorofluoromethane pressed into them, and have a particle size of approximately 0.2 to 2.5 mm, and are in an unfoamed state. . In addition, any surface treatment agent that can be added may be used as long as it improves the quality of the foamable resin.For example, molding cycle accelerators such as carboxylic acid amides and fatty acid esters that have the effect of shortening molding time are used in the present invention. The effect is most noticeable.

下では発泡性粒子の表面に処理材が充分に付着しない。The stirring time in the method of the present invention is related to the rotation speed of the stirring blade of the high-energy mixer, and is usually 10 to 3
A range of 0 seconds is preferable; stirring for 30 seconds or more not only poses a risk of foaming of the expandable particles, but also allows the surface treatment agent to penetrate into the interior of the resin particles, achieving the intended purpose of adding the surface treatment agent. Furthermore, if the time is shorter than 10 seconds, the treatment material will not adhere sufficiently to the surface of the expandable particles.
また、攪拌槽内の温度は発泡性樹脂粒子の発泡が生起す

下に保つことが好ましい。Further, the temperature in the stirring tank is preferably kept at 60° C. or lower, which is the temperature at which foaming of the expandable resin particles occurs, more preferably at 45° C. or lower.
