Provided is a metal salt of an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid with excellent dispersibility in polyolefin resins, and excellent crystallinity improving effect that is essential as a crystal nucleating agent for polyolefin resins, regardless of processing conditions. A method is also provided for producing the metal salt of an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid; a crystal nucleating agent containing the metal salt of an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid; a crystal nucleating agent composition for polyolefin resins containing the crystal nucleating agent and a fatty acid metal salt; a polyolefin resin composition containing the crystal nucleating agent; and a polyolefin resin molded article obtained using the polyolefin resin composition. Provided is a metal salt of an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid in which the alicyclic dicarboxylic acid is an alkyl substituent-containing cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, and the metal salt is a calcium salt, a hydroxyaluminum salt, a disodium salt, or a dilithium salt.

Metal salt of an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid having excellent dispersibility in polyolefin resin, production method for said metal salt of an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid, crystal nucleating agent for polyolefin resin containing said metal salt of an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid, crystal nucleating agent composition containing said crystal nucleating agent, polyolefin resin composition, and polyolefin resin molded article

Disclosed are, for example, a process for producing a tricarboxylic acid tris(alkyl-substituted cyclohexylamide), the process comprising subjecting a tricarboxylic acid and an alkyl-substituted cyclohexylamine to an amidation reaction, either (a) in the presence of a boric acid compound and a phenol compound or (b) in the presence of a boric acid ester obtained by the dehydration condensation of a boric acid compound and a phenol compound, and optionally purifying the resulting crude reaction product.
