Abstract

Disclosed is a process for continuously producing rubber modified styrene resins wherein the rubbery phase including a rubber-like polymer is transformed into dispersed particles by using a reactor having both a helical-blade agitator mounted in a draft tube and an auxiliary agitator, by establishing a specified agitating force and a specified degree of circulation of the fluid within the reactor, and by maintaining a specified relation between the weight percentages, based on the total amount of all components within the reactor, of the rubber-like polymer and the monomer converted to polymer. According to this process, various grades of high-impact rubber modified styrene resins having excellent surface properties can be obtained without any adhesion of rubber-like matter to the reactor and without any formation of fisheyes in final products.
