Propylene-base random copolymer particles and production process thereof

摘要

Disclosed herein are propylene-base random copolymer particles suitable for use in the production of pre-foamed particles. The copolymer particles are obtained by heating starting copolymer particles to the crystallization temperature thereof and then quenching them in a medium of (the crystallization temperature-30 DEG C.) or lower. Processes for obtaining the copolymer particles are also disclosed. Pre-foamed particles produced using the copolymer particles contain large cells. They can thus provide foamed moldings which are substantially free of shrinkage and have good flexibility.
