The present invention relates to a method for emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers using a specific compound as an emulsifier. Traditionally, sodium stearic acid, higher fatty acids such as oleic acid, disproportionated sodium rosinate, and lauryl sulfate have been used as emulsifiers for polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers such as styrene, (meth)acrylic acid esters, and acrylonitrile. Sodium and sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate are widely used, but due to the emulsion polymerization process, the emulsifier used remains in the final product. Although rosin acid soap exhibits superior properties to other emulsifiers in terms of transparency, coloration, light discoloration resistance, and hygroscopicity of the final product, rosin acid soap generally has poor polymerizability, and in reality, it is difficult to polymerize. It is not used in monomers with poor properties. For example, in a polymerization system using a monomer with poor (co)polymerizability such as α-alkylstyrene, there is a large amount of unreacted monomer after polymerization, resulting in poor productivity.
Furthermore, the obtained (co)polymer has problems in terms of physical properties such as a decrease in heat resistance. For this reason, unreacted substances are generally removed from the resulting polymer latex by steam stripping after polymerization, but this requires a huge amount of energy. In view of this situation, the present inventors conducted extensive research on the polymerizability in emulsion polymerization, and found that by using an emulsifier consisting of a disproportionated rosin acid containing a certain amount or more of dehydroabietic acid, (co-)
Even in polymerization systems using monomers with poor polymerizability,
The present invention was achieved based on the discovery that not only excellent polymerizability can be obtained, but also that the resulting product has excellent transparency, colorability, light discoloration resistance, and hygroscopicity. That is, the present invention provides excellent stability by using as an emulsifier an alkali metal salt and/or ammonium salt of disproportionated rosin acid comprising disproportionated rosin acid having a dehydroabietic acid content of 65% by weight or more. In addition, the present invention provides an emulsion polymerization method with excellent productivity with less unreacted monomers, and the resulting product (resin) has excellent transparency, colorability, light discoloration resistance, and hygroscopicity. The present invention will be explained in detail below. In general, rosin acid is gum rosin acid (i) obtained from raw pine resin taken from living pine trees, uddrosin acid (ii) obtained by extraction from pine stumps with a petroleum solvent, and rosin acid (ii) obtained from pine resin during the production of kraft pulp. Tall oil obtained from cooking waste liquor is classified as rosin acid (III), but since all of them are made from natural products, the main component is abietic acid, with minor components including neoabietic acid, parastric acid, and dehydroabietin. Acids, including pimaric acid, isopimaric acid, etc. Disproportionation rosin acids have been obtained by disproportionation reactions, but the content of dehydroabietic acid in the disproportionation rosin acids currently obtained industrially is at most 55% by weight. However, the disproportionated rosin acid in the present invention has a dehydroabietic acid content of 65% by weight or more, preferably 70% by weight or more. If it is less than 65% by weight, the object of the present invention cannot be achieved. By using the emulsifier defined in the present invention, a remarkable improvement effect can be obtained in the (co)polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing α-alkylstyrene, which has poor (co)polymerizability. There is no particular restriction on the content of α-alkylstyrene in the ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and the improving effect improves as the content of α-alkylstyrene increases, but it is preferably 30% by weight or more, particularly preferably teeth
It is 50% by weight or more. Disproportionated rosin acid with a dehydroabietic acid content of 65% by weight or more has a catalyst amount during the disproportionation reaction,
It can be obtained by specifying temperature, etc. The emulsifier used in the present invention is a disproportionated rosin acid soap prepared by neutralizing a disproportionated rosin acid containing dehydroabietic acid as a main component with an alkali metal such as sodium or potassium or ammonia, and is one or two types of emulsifier. More than one species can be used. There are no particular restrictions on the proportion of such emulsifiers used;
It is determined appropriately depending on the type of monomer to be polymerized, but usually 100% of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer is used.
It is 0.01 to 10 parts by weight per part by weight. The ethylenically unsaturated monomer used in the emulsion polymerization of the present invention includes α-alkylstyrene. α
-A typical example of alkylstyrene is α-methylstyrene. Examples of ethylenically unsaturated monomers other than α-alkylstyrene include aromatic vinyl represented by styrene (excluding α-alkylstyrene), vinyl cyanides such as acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile, methyl acrylate, and ethyl acrylate. , unsaturated carboxylic acid alkyl esters such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and unsaturated carboxylic acids such as acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, and one or more of them may be used. The monomers are polymerized in the presence of the specific emulsifiers mentioned in the present invention to form a homopolymer or a copolymer, but they can also be polymerized in the presence of a rubbery polymer to form a graft polymer. can do. Specifically, α-methylstyrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, α-methylstyrene-acrylonitrile-methylmethacrylate copolymer, acrylonitrile-diene rubber-α-methylstyrene polymer, acrylonitrile-olefin rubber-α-methyl Examples include styrene polymers. In carrying out the emulsion polymerization method using the specific compound of the present invention as an emulsifier, a known polymerization initiator,
Molecular weight regulators and the like can be used. Furthermore, a known emulsifier can also be used in combination. Examples will be described below, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Examples and Comparative Examples The total amount of emulsifier shown in Table 1, the total amount of potassium persulfate, the total amount of water, and 30% by weight of the monomer mixture were placed in a reactor purged with nitrogen, and polymerization was performed at 70°C for 1 hour.
The remaining monomer mixture (70% by weight) was then continuously added over the next 3 hours, and the mixture was aged for an additional 2 hours to complete the polymerization. The obtained copolymer latex was salted out with calcium chloride, and after drying, a copolymer powder was prepared.
The powder was kneaded with a Banbury mixer to create pellets. In addition, when evaluating colorability and light discoloration resistance, pigments were added during kneading with a Banbury mixer.
