Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the formation of spherical resin microparticles suitable for use in paints, etc., by mixing a medium comprising a polyether-modified 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 polyether-modified silicone oil of the formula (wherein R1 and R2 are each a 1-10C alkyl, m is 20-500, n is 1-100, p is 1-50 and q is 0-50) is mixed with a thermoplastic resin insoluble therein (e.g., polyamide resin or polystyrene 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 softening 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 amount of the medium, agitation power, temperature, etc.

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 noble 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 hinders the operation of separating the finely divided polyamide resin and the medium. It has disadvantages. In addition, since the heat resistance of the medium itself is 170° C., it has the disadvantage of deterioration during production.
