    Abstract: An expanded bead having a tubular shape with a through hole and a method for producing the same are provided. The expanded bead includes a foamed core layer and a covering layer. A polyolefin-based resin included in the covering layer has a melting point lower than a melting point of a polypropylene-based resin included in the foamed core layer. An average hole diameter d of the through hole of the expanded bead is less than 1 mm, and a ratio d/D of the average hole diameter d to an average outer diameter D of the expanded bead is 0.4 or less. The polypropylene-based resin for the foamed core layer has a flexural modulus of 1,200 MPa or more and a melting point of 158° C. or lower.

    Abstract: A method for producing a polypropylene-based resin foamed molded article by blow molding a foamed parison formed of a base resin, in which: the base resin contains, in specific mixing proportions, a branched polypropylene-based resin (A), a linear polypropylene-based resin (B) and a recovered raw material (C) that is recovered in the course of production of the polypropylene-based resin foamed molded article. Each of the resin (A), resin (B) and the recovered raw material (C), has a specific range of a melt tension and a melt flow rate. A difference in melting point between the resin (A) and resin (B) is within a specific range. A difference in crystallization temperature between the resin (A) and resin (B) is within a specific range.

    Abstract: Thermoplastic resin foamed particles of the present invention including more than one or more functional additive selected from inorganic powder and inorganic fibers each includes a core layer formed of a thermoplastic resin and a coating layer in a foamed state formed of a thermoplastic resin, the mass ratio of the coating layer to the core layer is 99:1 to 50:50, the content (X) of the functional additive in the core layer is 5 to 90% by mass, and the content of the functional additive in the coating layer is smaller than the content (X) of the functional additive in the core layer. By this way, thermoplastic resin foamed particles from which a homogeneous foamed particle molding having excellent dimension stability, fusibility and appearance can be obtained while containing functional additive are provided.
