Abstract:
Expanded polypropylene resin particles include a polypropylene resin as a base material resin, wherein the polypropylene resin has a flexural modulus of 750 MPa to 1100 MPa. The flexural modulus and a melting point of the expanded polypropylene resin particles satisfy Expression (1): [Flexural modulus (MPa)]<31.19×[Melting point (° C.)]−3500, wherein the melting point of the expanded polypropylene resin particles is a melting point of 141.5° C. to 150.0° C. in a second differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve of a second temperature increase, the second DSC curve being obtained when the expanded polypropylene resin particles are heated from 40° C. to 220° C. at a temperature increase rate of 10° C./min in a first temperature increase, then cooled from 220° C. to 40° C. at a temperature decrease rate of 10° C./min, and heated again from 40° C. to 220° C. at a temperature increase rate of 10° C./min in the second temperature increase.
