体自身の耐熱性が170℃なので製造中に変質する欠点
を有している。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.
