A bead-like glycidyl (meth)acrylate polymer is produced by aqueous suspension polymerization of glycidyl (meth)acrylate alone or a monomer mixture composed of more than 50 weight % of said monomer and at least one other monomer which forms the remainder, in the presence of a specific aqueous polymer, at a pH of from 2 to 9 and at a stirring speed of from 50 to 500 r.p.m. By heat treating said bead-like polymer at a pH below 3 and at a temperature above 70 DEG C., hydroxyl groups resulting from the ring opening of the epoxy groups are introduced, whereby a solvent-insoluble bead-like polymer having a gel water content not less than 30% is produced. |
