Abstract

The invention provides a method for producing an aqueous biodegradable polyester dispersion and includes the step of mixing and kneading a molten biodegradable polyester, an aqueous emulsifier solution having a surface tension in terms of 1.0% by weight aqueous solution at 20° C. of 63 mN/m or less, and other additives according to necessity to yield an aqueous dispersion having a solid concentration of 40% by weight or more and a viscosity at 20° C. of 1000 mPa·s or more. The invention can provide a method for producing an aqueous biodegradable polyester dispersion that has a high solid concentration and a high viscosity and is very advantageous in practical use.
