Abstract: The method for producing flaky-glass granules of the present invention is a method for producing flaky-glass granules by allowing a plurality of glass flakes to be bonded to each other so as to be granulated. The method includes the steps of: (I) adding at least one liquid selected from water and a volatile organic solvent to the plurality of glass flakes and stirring a resultant mixture, and (II) drying the plurality of glass flakes stirred with the liquid added thereto. Unlike conventional flaky-glass granules, the flaky-glass granules produced by this method contain neither a binder nor a surface treatment agent for bonding the glass flakes to each other. Thus, when mixed into a thermoplastic resin to be molded at a high temperature, the flaky-glass granules cause neither foam inclusion nor discoloration in a molded article of the resin.
