Comparative Example 2 1.34 parts by weight of polyvinyl alcohol having an average degree of polymerization of 300 used in Example 1 and polyvinyl alcohol having an average degree of polymerization of 1700 (“Poval 217” manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd., saponification degree = 88%) The same procedure as in Example 1 was carried out except that 34 parts by weight was initially charged, and no post-addition of polyvinyl alcohol was performed. The resulting aqueous emulsion contains a copolymer having an ethylene / vinyl acetate weight ratio of 21/79, a glass transition temperature of -4 ° C, a solid content of 71.1% by weight, and a viscosity of 17,250 mPa · s. Was something.
