The present invention provides a method for producing a
polyethylene-based resin extruded foam sheet, which has a low
apparent density even when linear low-density
polyethylene is included, and a
polyethylene-based resin extruded foam sheet obtained by this method, which allows for easy production of a good quality extruded foam sheet. [Solution] The method for manufacturing the polyethylene resin extruded foam sheet 1 includes an
extrusion foaming step in which a foamable resin molten product, obtained by melt-kneading a polyethylene resin as a base resin and a physical
foaming agent, is extruded and foamed. The polyethylene resin includes linear low-density polyethylene. The difference Tcs-Tc between the
crystallization start temperature Tcs (unit: °C) and the
crystallization temperature Tc (unit: °C) of the linear low-density polyethylene is 8 °C or less. Measurement temperature 150 °C,
shear rate 375 s -1 The
extensional viscosity λ of linear low-density polyethylene, measured by the Cogswell method under these conditions, is 50,000 Pa·s or higher.
