Abstract

Abstract A process for producing an emulsion of a vinyl resin having microvoids therein, which comprises using as seed particles 0.1 to 90 parts by weight (as solids) of a polymer emulsion (C) obtained by emulsion polymerization of a polymerizable monovinyl monomer (A) and optionally, a polyfunctional crosslinkable monomer (B), adding to said seed particles a monomeric mixture which is composed of 99.9 to 10 parts by weight of a polymerizable monovinyl monomer (D) and 0 to 50 parts by weight of a polyfunctional crosslinkable monomer (E) and the solubility parameter of which differs from the solubility parameter of the polymer (C) by at least 0.1, and emulsion polymerizing the monomeric mixture. The resulting resin emulsion may be powderized by drying.
