2. Description of the Related Art Polyvinyl chloride has excellent mechanical properties and is widely used as a vinyl chloride resin. However, polyvinyl chloride has a drawback of poor thermoplasticity. Conventionally, in order to improve the thermoplasticity of polyvinyl chloride, a small amount of a plasticizer is added to polyvinyl chloride, or ethylene, propylene, or vinyl acetate is copolymerized with polyvinyl chloride, or a soft resin is added to polyvinyl chloride. Methods for blending are known. By these methods, although the molding processability of the vinyl chloride resin composition is improved to some extent, it is not sufficient, and the physical properties decrease due to volatilization or migration of the plasticizer becomes a problem. If it is not sufficient and one of the disadvantages is improved, there is a problem that other characteristics of the vinyl chloride resin are deteriorated. On the other hand, there is known a method of producing a vinyl chloride graft copolymer by graft-polymerizing vinyl chloride to an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer by a radical polymerization method. The vinyl chloride graft copolymer obtained by this method has excellent impact resistance, processability, internal plasticity, and electrical insulation properties not found in blends, and is used for packaging sheets, building materials, wire covering materials, etc. Is used in a wide range of fields. However, the problem encountered with vinyl chloride graft copolymers is that the polymerization is partially carried out with insufficient homogenization of the polymerization system or with the polymerization particles remaining from the previous polymerization batch. In some cases, polymer particles having a high vinyl chloride monomer composition are generated, remain unmelted during processing, and generate fish eyes on the surface of the molded product. Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-54383 discloses that when vinyl chloride is graft-polymerized to an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer, polymerization is started in the presence of a sorbitan higher fatty acid ester-based or polyvinyl alcohol-based dispersant, and further subjected to polymerization conversion. A method has been proposed in which a water-soluble dispersant is added while the ratio is 5 to 40% to obtain a vinyl chloride-based graft copolymer having few fish eyes on the product surface. However, in this method, the operation during polymerization is complicated, and it is necessary to adjust the addition timing and amount of the water-soluble dispersant depending on the composition ratio of the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer and the monomer. For this reason, vinyl chloride or a mixture of vinyl chloride and other monomers is graft-polymerized to the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer by a radical polymerization method to easily produce a vinyl chloride-based graft copolymer having less fish eyes. There is a need to develop ways to do this.

In the method of the present invention, when graft-polymerizing a mixture of vinyl chloride and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with vinyl chloride, the amount of vinyl chloride in the monomer mixture is not less than 50% by weight. Preferably, it is at least 75% by weight. If the amount of vinyl chloride in the monomer mixture is less than 50% by weight, the obtained copolymer may not sufficiently have the excellent properties inherent in the vinyl chloride graft copolymer. In the method of the present invention, the ratio of the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer to vinyl chloride or a mixture of vinyl chloride and the ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable therewith is such that the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer is 40 to 70. %, And preferably 30 to 60% by weight of vinyl chloride or a mixture of vinyl chloride and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable therewith. If the amount of the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer is less than 40% by weight, it may be difficult to obtain sufficient elongation and flexibility. When the amount of the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer exceeds 70% by weight, the tensile strength tends to decrease and the tackiness tends to increase, which may cause problems in physical properties and workability. In the method of the present invention, there is no particular limitation on the method of graft-polymerizing vinyl chloride or a mixture of vinyl chloride and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable therewith with an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer by a radical polymerization method. For example, a suspension polymerization method, a fine suspension polymerization method, or the like can be used. In the suspension polymerization method, first, an aqueous medium is charged into a polymerization tank equipped with a stirrer, a dispersing agent and, if necessary, a small amount of a surfactant are dissolved, and an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer is charged, and the oil is charged. A soluble radical polymerization initiator is added and stirred. Next, the polymerization tank is degassed, and the atmosphere is replaced with an inert gas such as nitrogen as necessary. Next, vinyl chloride or a mixture of vinyl chloride and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable therewith is charged, and the temperature is raised to a predetermined polymerization temperature while stirring. From the change in the water temperature of the jacket of the polymerization tank, the start of polymerization can be grasped. The polymerization is continued, and when the conversion reaches a predetermined value, the polymerization is stopped and unreacted vinyl chloride is recovered. The powdery or granular copolymer is filtered, dehydrated, and dried to obtain a vinyl chloride-based graft copolymer. Examples of the dispersant used in suspension polymerization include polyvinyl alcohol; gelatin; and water-soluble cellulose derivatives such as methylcellulose and hydroxypropyloxymethylcellulose. Examples of the oil-soluble radical polymerization initiator used in the suspension polymerization method include acetyl peroxide, 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, and naphthoyl peroxide. Diacyl peroxides; ketone peroxides such as methyl ethyl ketone peroxide; hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide, p-cymene hydroperoxide and t-butyl hydroperoxide; peroxyesters such as t-butyl peroxypivalate Peroxydicarbonates such as diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate and diethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate; organic peroxides such as sulfonyl peroxide such as acetylcyclohexylsulfonyl peroxide. Oxidation-reduction polymerization initiator obtained by combining these organic peroxides with a reducing agent such as Rongalit; 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2′-azobis (2-methylbutyronitrile) ,
2,2′-azobis (2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile),
An azo compound such as 2,2′-azobis (4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) can be used. The oil-soluble radical polymerization initiator used is preferably used in an amount of 0.001 to 0.5% by weight based on the monomer.
One of these oil-soluble radical polymerization initiators can be used alone, or two or more can be used in combination.

In the fine suspension polymerization method, first, a monomer, an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer, an oil-soluble radical polymerization initiator, a surfactant, and, if necessary, a The mixture is premixed with an additive and other additives, and homogenized by a homogenizer to adjust the particle size of the oil droplets. Examples of the surfactant used include, for example, anionic surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether and ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymer. Can be mentioned. Examples of the oil-soluble radical polymerization initiator are the same as those used in the suspension polymerization method. As the homogenizer, for example, a colloid mill, a vibration stirrer, or the like can be used. The homogenized liquid is sent to a polymerization apparatus, and the temperature is raised to the polymerization temperature while gently stirring, and polymerization is performed until a predetermined conversion is reached. In the method of the present invention, the polymerization temperature can be appropriately selected according to the monomer used, the polymerization initiator and the like, but is usually preferably 30 to 80 ° C. If the polymerization temperature is lower than 30 ° C., the reaction may be slow and the polymerization may not proceed, or the polymerization may take a long time. When the polymerization temperature exceeds 80 ° C., it may be difficult to control the polymerization reaction.

In the method of the present invention, 0.1 to 0 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer and vinyl chloride or a mixture of vinyl chloride and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable therewith. 0.3 parts by weight of a dispersion stabilizer is used, more preferably 0.15 to 0.20 parts by weight of a dispersion stabilizer. The amount of the dispersion stabilizer used is 100% of the total amount of the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer and the monomer.
If the amount is less than 0.1 part by weight per part by weight, it may be difficult to maintain the dispersion stability of the particles in the aqueous medium during polymerization. When the amount of the dispersion stabilizer used is ethylene, the total amount of the vinyl ester copolymer and the monomer is 10
If the amount exceeds 0.3 parts by weight per 0 parts by weight, the polymerization system is difficult to completely homogenize, and a vinyl chloride-based graft copolymer which generates many fish eyes may be obtained. In the method of the present invention, 50 to 85% by weight of the dispersion stabilizer to be used is charged before the temperature is raised, and then the temperature is raised to start the polymerization reaction. Charge between 0.5-4% by weight. More preferably, 60 to 70% by weight of the dispersion stabilizer to be used is charged before the temperature is raised, and the remaining 30 to 40% by weight of the dispersion stabilizer is charged during the polymerization conversion of 0.5 to 4% by weight. . If the charged amount of the dispersion stabilizer before the temperature rise is less than 50% by weight, it is difficult to maintain the dispersion stability of the droplets until the temperature rises, and the coalescence phenomenon of the droplets becomes severe along with the polymerization, and the The grains increase,
Alternatively, the polymerization system may be solidified. If the amount of the dispersion stabilizer before the temperature rise exceeds 85% by weight, the dispersion stability is improved, but the polymerization system is difficult to completely homogenize, and as a result, the polymerization of the vinyl chloride monomer composition is partially high. There is a possibility that a vinyl chloride-based graft copolymer that generates product particles and generates many fish eyes will be obtained. The remaining 15 to 50% by weight of the dispersion stabilizer is used in a polymerization conversion of 0.5.
If it is charged before reaching the weight%, there is a possibility that a vinyl chloride-based graft copolymer which generates a lot of fish eyes may be obtained. If the remaining 15 to 50% by weight of the dispersion stabilizer is charged after the polymerization conversion exceeds 4% by weight, a vinyl chloride graft copolymer having many coarse particles may be obtained. In the method of the present invention, in addition to water serving as a polymerization medium, an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer, a monomer, a polymerization initiator, a dispersant, and a surfactant, a pH adjuster, a chain Graft polymerization can be carried out by adding a modifier such as a transfer agent and an antioxidant.
