Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the formation of spherical resin microparticles suitable for use in paints, etc., by mixing a medium comprising a specified silicone oil with a thermoplastic resin insoluble therein at a temperature higher than the softening point or melting point of the resin and cooling the mixture. CONSTITUTION:A medium comprising a silicone oil of the formula (wherein R is a 1-10C alkyl or an aralkyl and n is 50-1,000) is mixed with a thermoplastic resin insoluble therein (e.g., polycarbonate resin or polyamide resin) at a temperature higher than the softening point or melting point of the thermoplastic resin to form a dispersion. This dispersion is cooled to a temperature lower than the softending point or melting point of the thermoplastic resin, and the solidified thermoplastic resin is separated from the medium to obtain spherical thermoplastic resin microparticles. The particle diameter, particle size distribution, etc., of the resin particles can be adjusted by selecting production conditions such as mixing ratio, agitation power and temperature.

Methods of making thermoplastic resin into fine particles include mechanically crushing agglomerates such as pellets, using an appropriate solvent to utilize the difference in solubility due to temperature, or adding a poor solvent to precipitate. However, they have the disadvantage that they are nonuniform, amorphous, porous, and cannot produce homogeneous spherical particles. On the other hand, a method using polyethylene glycol as a medium has been known as a method for producing spherical fine particles of polyamide resin. (For example, JP-A No. 60-40134) [Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the method using polyethylene glycol as a medium, the medium is solid at room temperature, which poses a problem in separating the micronized polyamide resin and the medium. It has its drawbacks. In addition, since the heat resistance of the medium itself is 170° C., it has the disadvantage of deterioration during production.
