ABSTRACT:
Substantially non-crosslinked pre-foamed particles of a polypropylene resin, characterized by the fact that they are composed of an ethylene/propylene random copolymer or a mixture of an ethylene/propylene random copolymer with low density polyethylene and/or an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer as a base resin; and a process for producing pre-foamed particles of a polypropylene resin, which comprises dispersing substantially non-crosslinked particles of the polypropylene resin composed of an ethylene/propylene random copolymer or a mixture of an ethylene/propylene random copolymer with low-density polyethylene and/or an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer and a volatile blowing agent in water in the presence of a dispersing agent within a closed vessel; heating the dispersion to a temperature above a temperature at which the resin particles soften, thereby to impregnated the blowing agent in the resin particles; and while maintaining the pressure of the inside of the vessel higher than the vapor pressure of the blowing agent, opening one end of the vessel to release the resin particles and water simultaneously into an atmosphere kept at a lower pressure than the inside of the vessel.
