A process for preparing an impact resistant resin, which comprises a step of graft copolymerizing a monomer mixture comprising an aromatic vinyl monomer and a monomer copolymerizable therewith, to a butadiene rubber-like polymeric latex in the presence of a redox polymerization initiator; a step of coagulating the resulting graft copolymer latex by mixing an antioxidant thereto and adding an alkaline earth metal salt thereto; and a step of washing the coagulated product by a washing water having the pH adjusted to a level of at most 7.

Process for preparing an impact resistant resin

A graft copolymer resin composition having improved impact resistance, particularly at low temperature, obtained by emulsion-polymerizing an aromatic vinyl monomer and a vinyl cyanide monomer, optionally together with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable therein under specific conditions by the action of a polymerization initiator in the presence of a latex of a conjugated diene polymer under specific conditions.
