Abstract
A method for producing a polymer solution including a methacrylate copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of not less than 100,000, a weight average molecular weight/number average molecular weight of 1.01 to 1.8 and a glass transition temperature of not more than 40° C. and including methyl methacrylate units and alkyl (meth)acrylate units containing a C10-36 alkyl group, and a first solvent having a boiling point of not less than 200° C., through steps including a step (I) of preparing the methacrylate copolymer by polymerizing monomers in a second solvent having a boiling point of below 200° C., and a step (II) of mixing the solution from the step (I) which includes the methacrylate copolymer and the second solvent, with the first solvent, and removing the second solvent to raise the content of the first solvent to not less than 10 mass % of the polymer solution.
