Abstract
A polypropylene resin foamed bead from which a foamed bead molded article excelling in appearance, heat resistance and mechanical properties can be obtained at the molding temperature lower than that for conventional polypropylene resin foamed beads; and a foamed bead molded article obtained by molding the same. The polypropylene resin foamed bead is characterized by having such a crystal structure that in the first DSC curve obtained when the temperature of the foamed bead sample is raised from ordinary temperature to 200° C. at a temperature rising rate of 2° C./min by a differential scanning calorimetry, there appear a main endothermic peak of 100° to 140° C. endothermic peak apex temperature exhibiting 70 to 95% endothermic peak calorific value based on the total endothermic peak calorific value and two or more endothermic peaks exhibited on the high temperature side with respect to the main endothermic peak.
