Abstract:
A method for producing expanded particles, the method comprising dividing at least two or more times expandable particles including a base resin, which is a composite resin of a polyolefin-based resin and a polystyrene-based resin, and a blowing agent and subjecting each to an expansion step, wherein the expandable particles are subjected to the expansion step directly after being held in a pressurized vessel maintained at 0.1 to 0.4 MPa and −20 to 30° C.
