(METH)ACRYLIC POLYMER PARTICLES, PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF, PLASTISOL COMPOSITIONS MADE BY USING THE PARTICLES, AND ARTICLES MADE BY USING THE COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Disclosed are an industrially useful (meth)acrylic polymer particle for use in a plastisol which is excellent in storage stability, particularly under circumstance at 40°C or above, so that it can suppress gelation and maintain a sol state during storage and which can give a shaped article excellent in flexibility and chipping resistance; a method for producing the (meth)acrylic polymer particle; and a plastisol composition made from the (meth)acrylic polymer particle. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing a (meth)acrylic polymer particle, which comprises polymerizing a monomer or monomer mixture (B) to form a polymer (b) in the presence of a polymer (a) obtained by polymerization of a monomer or monomer mixture (A), wherein a glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer (a) as calculated from the FOX equation is 90°C or above, a solubility parameter of the polymer (a) is 19.90 (J/cm 3 ) 1/2 or below, and a solubility parameter of the polymer (b) is 20.22 (J/cm 3 ) 1/2 or above.
