(Prior art) Polystyrene particles are impregnated with an easily volatile blowing agent to form expandable polystyrene particles, which are then heated with steam to form pre-expanded particles, which are then filled into a mold and reheated to seal the particles between the particles within the mold. Fused polystyrene foam moldings are widely known. However, although this foamed molded product has strong rigidity and good heat insulation and shape retention properties, it has the disadvantage of being brittle and having poor chemical resistance and oil resistance.

In order to improve these drawbacks, in place of polystyrene, copolymers of acrylonitrile and styrenes (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-204629) and multi-component copolymers containing improved monomer components have been developed. Proposals have been made to use coalescence. By using such styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers, the chemical resistance, etc. of the base resin itself is improved, which in turn improves the chemical resistance, oil resistance, etc. of the foam molded product made from it. It is said that

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, foamed molded articles obtained using expandable resin particles having such a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer as a base resin cannot be used in high-temperature environments (particularly 100% ℃ or higher), and even when a base resin with a high softening temperature is used, there is a problem in that unevenness occurs on the surface of the molded product, significantly impairing its appearance. The occurrence of such thermal deformation poses a problem not only in terms of appearance but also in the risk of peeling at the adhesive interface when used in combination with other materials.

It is thought that such thermal deformation and the occurrence of irregularities are mainly caused by the re-foaming of the residual foaming agent present in the foamed molded article, particularly in the surface layer.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention discovered that in order to prevent thermal deformation and surface unevenness due to surface re-foaming, it is sufficient to reduce the remaining foaming agent during foam molding. We investigated the possibility of creating undefeated microscopic cracks (hereinafter referred to as "microcracks") near the surface layer to dramatically increase the surface area of the pre-expanded particles and the foamed product to promote the escape of the foaming agent. I did it.

Conventionally, methods for forming such fine cracks in expanded polystyrene particles include a mechanical method using a needle (Japanese Patent Publication No. 19809/1983), paraffin oil, glyceride of higher fatty acids having 12 to 30 carbon atoms, etc. A method of coating and physicochemically forming it during molding (Tokukō Sho 6)

(Means for Solving the Problems) In view of the above situation, the present inventors have conducted extensive research and have found that various foamable copolymer resin particles based on the styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer have been developed. By coating with a specific compound of glyceride, fine cracks are efficiently generated during molding, preventing or suppressing the residual foaming agent, and thereby significantly preventing thermal deformation and surface deformation of the resulting molded product.・I found a fact that can be suppressed.

It is suitable to adjust the monomer residue content to 0 to 30% by weight. If there are too few acrylonitrile monomer residues here, the brittleness and chemical resistance will deteriorate.

Oil resistance etc. will be insufficient, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the amount of styrene monomer residues is too small, the retention of the blowing agent decreases, making it impossible to obtain a molded article with a high expansion ratio, which is not preferable. Other polymerizable monomer residues are used to improve the physical properties of the copolymer, if necessary, and at most 30% by weight is sufficient. In particular, when an N-substituted aromatic maleimide such as N-phenylmaleimide is used as the polymerizable monomer, the softening temperature of the base resin itself can be significantly increased. Combined with the effects of invention, 120
Excellent dimensional stability and surface stability can be imparted to the molded article even in a high temperature environment of about 0.degree. The amount of the maleimide monomer residue in this case is suitably 0.5 to 30% by weight, particularly preferably 5 to 20% by weight.

The foamable copolymer resin particle composition of the present invention can be obtained by coating the foamable copolymer resin particles described above with a higher fatty acid ester of propylene glycol that is liquid at room temperature. The higher fatty acid ester of propylene glycol used here is C+a of propylene glycol.
Fatty acid esters are suitable, with propylene glycol oleate being preferred and propylene glycol monooleate being more preferred. The amount of propylene glycol fatty acid ester used is preferably 0.001 to 0.5% by weight based on the foamable copolymer resin particles. If it is less than O, ooi weight percent, the effect of generating fine cracks is small, and if it exceeds O, S weight percent, the effect of generating fine cracks becomes saturated, which is disadvantageous in terms of economic efficiency and expandable copolymer resin particles. become sticky with each other. Therefore, it becomes difficult to transport the foam to the weighing hopper of the pre-foaming machine, and it becomes impossible to perform the pre-foaming operation in a substantially continuous manner, which is not preferable.
