Abstract:
A process for producing a polyvinyl chloride paste blending resin comprising polymerizing a vinyl chloride monomer or a mixture of a vinyl chloride monomer and a monomer copolymerizable therewith by a suspension polymerization in an aqueous medium, wherein as a suspending agent, both (A) and (B) are used in a mixing weight ration (A)/(B) of 99/1 to 50/50, and a total amount of said (A) and said (B) is 0.1 to 1.0 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the vinyl chloride monomer or the mixture of a vinyl chloride monomer and a monomer copolymerizable therewith, said (A) being a partially hydrolyzed water-soluble poly(vinyl alcohol) having a viscosity at 20.degree. C. of 4% aqueous solution by weight of 20 to 110 cps and the degree of hydrolysis of 86 to 99 mol %, and said (B) being a partially hydrolyzed water-soluble poly(vinyl alcohol) having a viscosity at 20.degree. C. of 4% aqueous solution by weight of 5 to 10 cps and the degree of hydrolysis of 70 to 80 mol %, andwherein not more than 0.05 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the vinyl chloride monomer or the mixture of a vinyl chloride monomer and a monomer copolymerizable therewith, of a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (C) having a methoxyl content of 18 to less than 26% by weight, a hydroxypropoxyl content of 4 to 15% by weight and a viscosity at 20.degree. C. of 2% aqueous solution by weight of 3500 to 35,000 cps is further used in combination as a suspending agent.
