Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a nonyellowish methacrylate resin plate excellent in colorlessness and transparency by polymerizing a methacrylate monomer in the presence of an acidic alkyl phosphate. CONSTITUTION:A methacrylate resin is produced by polymerizing a monomer mixture based on an alkyl methacrylate or a partial polymer thereof in the presence of an alkyl mercaptan and a radical polymerization initiator, wherein 0.0005-0.2wt.% acidic alkyl phosphate is added to the reaction mixture. Thus, a nonyellowish methacrylate resin plate excellent in colorlessness and transparency can be obtained.

[0003] In the conventional polymerization of methacrylic resins, azobis-based radical polymerization initiators have often been used. When a large amount of azobis-based radical polymerization initiator is used, the polymerization rate can be increased, but the product contains a large amount of voids. This is thought to be due to nitrogen generated from the azo group of the polymerization initiator.
