Abstract: The present invention provides a thermoplastic resin pellet capable of obtaining a molded body which is excellent in metallic coloring properties, surface smoothness property, and flow mark suppressing properties, and has a sufficient metallic appearance. The present invention relates a metallic-tone thermoplastic resin pellet comprising 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin (A), 0.5 to 10 parts by mass of metallic particles (B), and 0 to 10 parts by mass of plate-like, fibrous and/or granular filler (C), wherein the pellet has a cylindrical shape having a circular or elliptical cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the pellet has a length of 0.5 to 2.8 mm and a cross-sectional major diameter of 0.5 to 2.8 mm.

Abstract: Provided is a polyamide resin composition superior in mechanical properties such as strength and elastic modulus and also in toughness, durability, frictional abrasion resistance, and water absorption resistance, wherein the polyamide resin composition contains 0.1 to 4 parts by mass of an aliphatic epoxy compound (B) having three glycidyl groups in the molecule, formulated to 100 parts by mass of a polyamide resin (A) with silicate layers of swellable lamellar silicate dispersed therein. The epoxy equivalence of the aliphatic epoxy compound (B) is preferably 180 g/eq or less, and the aliphatic epoxy compound (B) preferably has trimethylolpropane and/or glycerol as a skeleton.
