The present invention relates to foamed
polyolefin resin beads. Further, the present invention provides foamed resin beads obtained by foaming and expanding composite resin beads which include a core layer constituted by a
polyolefin resin and a covering layer which covers the core layer constituted by a
polyolefin resin, wherein (a) the polyolefin resin constituting the core layer is a crystalline polyolefin resin, (b) the polyolefin resin constituting the covering layer is a crystalline polyolefin resin which has a lower
melting point (B) than a
melting point (A) of the polyolefin resin constituting the core layer, wherein a
temperature difference [(A)−(B)] between the
melting point (B) and the melting point (A) is more than 0° C. and 80° C. or less, or a noncrystalline polyolefin resin which has a
softening point (C) lower than the melting point (A) of the polyolefin resin constituting the core layer, wherein a
temperature difference [(A)−(C)] between the
softening point (C) and the melting point (A) is more than 0° C. and 100° C. or less, and 10% by weight or more and less than 50% by weight of
polymer type
antistatic agent is contained in the covering layer. The foamed polyolefin resin beads of the present invention provide foamed polyolefin resin beads are excellent in fusion properties between beads at the time of molding in a mold, capable of providing a molded foamed article which is excellent antistatic performance, has no deterioration of the antistatic performance with age, whose antistatic performance is not
humidity dependent, does not contaminate packaging products, has a good molded foamed article surface, and has excellent mechanical properties.
