Abstract: A method is provided for continuously manufacturing high impact strength thermoplastic resins comprised of the sequential steps of (a) bulk-polymerizing a monomer solution, which contains a diene type rubber polymer or a graft polymer obtained by extracting the rubber polymer particle or vinyl monomer grafted polymer particle in latex with vinyl monomers which contain 5-20 percent by weight of water at a temperature of 85.degree.-135.degree.C, while continuously stirring the solution, vaporizing the volatile components, condensing the volatile component and recycling them back to reaction mixture, until the solid content in the reaction mixture reaches 40-75 percent by weight, and thereafter (b) bulk polymerizing the resulting prepolymer solution under the condition that plug-flowing can be attained with a temperature gradient 100.degree.-170.degree.C at the top of the reaction vessel and 170.degree.-270.degree.

Abstract: High impact resistant thermoplastic resins are produced in three steps: (a) graft polymerizing a minor amount of unsaturated monomer onto a major amount of diene type rubber polymer in latex form, (b) mixing the grafted diene type rubber latex with a monomer or monomers, extracting the grafted rubber polymer particles into the monomer phase and separating and discarding the water phase to obtain a grafted rubber polymer particle dispersed monomer solution, and (c) bulk polymerizing the resulting rubber polymer particle dispersed monomer solution.
