VINYL CHLORIDE RESIN LATEX, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SAME, AND THERMAL TRANSFER IMAGE-RECEIVING SHEET OBTAINED USING SAME

摘要

The invention is to provide vinyl chloride-based resin latexes which froth little when the unreacted monomers remaining in the latexes are recovered under heat and reduced-pressure conditions and to provide a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet which has satisfactory water resistance, does not yellow during storage, and gives images having excellent durability and light resistance. The invention relates to: vinyl chloride-based resin latexes that contain a copolymer which contains vinyl chloride and an epoxy-group-containing vinyl or contains vinyl chloride, an epoxy-group-containing vinyl, and a carboxylic acid vinyl ester and in which the content of the epoxy-group-containing vinyl is 0.1% by weight or more but less than 3% by weight, characterized by containing no surfactant and having a solid concentration of 25% by weight or more; processes for producing the latexes; and a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet obtained using the latexes.
