2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, spherical resin fine particles, particularly spherical resin fine particles having an average particle diameter of 1 to 50 .mu.m, have been widely used in fields such as a slipperiness imparting agent, a toner, a matting agent for paint, and an additive for light diffusion. Have been. Various polymerization methods are used as a method for producing these spherical resin fine particles, and generally, emulsion polymerization, dispersion polymerization, seed polymerization, suspension polymerization, and the like are employed. However, of these methods,
In the case of emulsion polymerization, non-negligible impurities such as an emulsifier must be removed from a target substance, and there is a problem that it is difficult to remove these impurities. In addition, dispersion polymerization and seed polymerization require complicated operations and require a long time, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost and is not suitable for mass production.

[0003] On the other hand, according to the suspension polymerization, the particle diameter is 1 to 5
Although it is possible to produce a large amount of spherical resin fine particles of about 0 μm and relatively inexpensively, in general, the droplets have various diameters due to shearing by stirring, and furthermore, because the droplets repeatedly split and coalesce, There is a problem that the particle size distribution of the obtained particles is widened and it is difficult to control the particle size and the particle size distribution. In particular, since the presence of particles (hereinafter, referred to as coarse particles) or agglomerated particles far apart from the average particle diameter becomes a problem in the above-described fields where spherical resin fine particles are used, such particles are classified and classified. Although the removal is performed by a method, this operation is complicated and takes a long time, so that there is a problem that the cost is increased.

[0004] In order to solve such a problem, droplets of a desired size are previously prepared by a method of dispersing a monomer into a dispersion liquid using a specific disperser that applies a shearing force, or other dispersion methods. A method for controlling the particle size and particle size distribution of the obtained resin particles by obtaining a dispersion containing (homogenization treatment), then introducing this dispersion into a polymerization tank and performing polymerization under ordinary stirring has been proposed. (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-131603)
issue). In addition, if the stirring is too strong, the droplets collide and coalesce, thereby increasing the number of coarse particles and responding to the problem that gentle stirring causes insufficient removal of the heat of polymerization reaction. After performing the homogenization treatment in the same manner as above, put under relatively strong stirring by using a specific stirring device,
There has been proposed a method for producing a powdery vinyl chloride resin powder for pastes, which produces a small amount of scale and agglomerates by subjecting vinyl chloride to fine suspension polymerization or emulsion polymerization using a surfactant (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 6 (1994) -163). -287203).

If the number of stirring blades is only one, it is not preferable because the suspension rotates together with the rotation of the stirring blades under low-speed stirring, so that the suspension is not uniformly mixed and aggregated particles increase.

In the paddle type stirring blade, it is preferable that the blade diameter of the lowermost stirring blade is larger than the blade diameter of the other stages. If the blade diameter of the lowermost stirring blade is smaller than that of the other stages, the flow of the suspension near the wall of the stirring tank goes to the lower part, and the mixing of the suspension in the upper part of the stirring tank becomes insufficient. It is not preferable because aggregated particles and the like easily increase.

The diameter of the lowermost stirring blade is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 0.6 to 0.95 times the inner diameter of the stirring tank in order to obtain more uniform mixing. If the blade diameter is less than 0.6 times the inner diameter of the stirring tank, the distance between the tip of the blade and the inner wall of the stirring tank is large, and the suspension existing between the blades is not uniformly mixed. Not preferred. Further, when the blade diameter of the lowermost stirring blade exceeds 0.95 times the inner diameter of the stirring tank, the distance between the tip of the blade and the inner wall of the stirring tank is too small, and the suspension existing therebetween receives a large force. This is not preferable because coalescence easily occurs, and coarse particles and aggregated particles increase.

The blade width in the height direction of the rotation axis of the stirring blade is at least 0.3 times the inner diameter of the stirring tank, and the vertical interval between each stirring blade is 0.15 times or less the blade width of the lowest stirring blade. Is preferable because the suspension is more uniformly mixed. It is preferable that each of the stirring blades vertically adjacent to each other has an intersection angle of 30 to 80 degrees (advancing angle of the upper stirring blade with respect to the lower stirring blade in the rotation direction: θ1 shown in FIG. 2). The lowermost stirring blade retreats in the rotation direction at the outer end. By having such a shape, the suspension can be uniformly mixed.

It may be a curved surface. When the receding portion is a flat surface, the angle between the lowermost stirring blade and the receding portion (hereinafter, referred to as the receding angle: θ2 shown in FIG. 2) is 100.
It is preferably from 170 to 170 degrees, more preferably from 120 to 160 degrees. If the receding angle is less than 100 degrees, the suspension near the inner wall of the stirring tank is not uniformly mixed, and aggregate particles and the like are likely to increase. On the other hand, if the receding angle exceeds 170 degrees, the suction of the liquid occurs on the rear surface of the blade tip, and the stirring flow is disturbed, so that the collision frequency increases, coalescence easily occurs, and the agglomerated particles and the like are easily increased.

In producing resin fine particles by suspension polymerization of monomer droplets prepared in a particle size distribution, coarsening and agglomeration of resin particles due to coalescence can be achieved by simple means of partially limiting the polymerization conditions. It can be significantly reduced. Therefore,
Since the resin fine particles obtained by the method of the present invention hardly contain coarse particles or aggregated particles, it is not necessary to remove them after polymerization. As a result, the labor and time required for complicated post-processing steps can be reduced, and the cost can be kept low.
