The present invention relates to a method for producing an allyl alcohol copolymer comprising structures represented by formulae (3) and (2) as monomer units (in the formulae, R2 represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms), comprising subjecting a copolymer comprising structures represented by formulae (1) and (2) as monomer units (in the formulae, R1 represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, which may be branched or include a cyclic structure; and R2 has the same meaning as mentioned above) to transesterification reaction with alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. The allyl alcohol copolymer obtained by the present invention is excellent in compatibility with various resins, electric insulating property, low water absorption, thermal stability and surface activity effect; and therefore is useful as a resin improver, components in coating agent, ink, adhesive agent and primer, high-performance wax, compatibilizer, surfactant, additive for grease, polyurethane material and polyester material. |
