[0053] The amount of the repeating unit formed from monomer (b) (repeating unit (b)) relative to the hydrocarbon group-containing polymer (or relative to the total of the repeating unit (a) and the repeating unit (b)) may be 0.5 to 15 weight %, 1 to 13 weight %, 3 to 12 weight %, 4 to 11 weight %, 5 to 10 weight %, 6 to 9 weight %, or 7 to 8 weight %. The amount of the repeating unit formed by monomer (c) relative to the hydrocarbon group-containing polymer may be 0 to 15 wt%, 0.3 to 10 wt%, 0.5 to 8 wt%, 0.8 to 7 wt%, 1 to 6 wt%, 1.5 to 5 wt%, 1.8 to 4 wt%, or 2 to 3 wt%. The amount of the repeating unit formed from monomer (d) may be 1 to 10 wt%, 2 to 9 wt%, 3 to 8 wt%, 4 to 7 wt%, or 5 to 6 wt% relative to the hydrocarbon group-containing polymer.

[0054] The weight average molecular weight of the hydrocarbon group-containing polymer may be 1,000 to 10,000,000 or 100,000,000, preferably 5,000 to 8,000,000 or 80,000,000, and more preferably 10,000 to 4,000,000 or 40,000,000. The weight average molecular weight is a value determined by gel permeation chromatography and converted to polystyrene. In this specification, "(meth)acrylic acid" refers to acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. For example, "(meth)acrylate" refers to acrylate or methacrylate.

[0055] From the viewpoint of oil resistance, the hydrocarbon group-containing polymer is preferably a random copolymer rather than a block copolymer.

[0056] The polymerization of hydrocarbon-containing polymers is not particularly limited, and various polymerization methods can be selected, including bulk polymerization, solution polymerization, emulsion polymerization, and radiation polymerization. For example, generally, solution polymerization in an organic solvent or emulsion polymerization using water or an organic solvent and water can be selected. After polymerization, the polymer is diluted with water and emulsified in water to prepare a treatment solution. In the present disclosure, after polymerization (e.g., solution polymerization or emulsion polymerization, preferably solution polymerization), it is preferred to add water and then perform desolvation to disperse the polymer in water. This allows the production of self-dispersible products without the need for an emulsifier. In the present disclosure, emulsion polymerization is preferably used. Compared with solution polymerization, emulsion polymerization can provide polymers with excellent high-temperature and oil resistance with the same monomer composition.

[0057] Examples of the organic solvent include ketones such as acetone and butanone; esters such as ethyl acetate and methyl acetate; glycols such as propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP: N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone), dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, and low molecular weight polyethylene glycol; and alcohols such as ethanol and isopropyl alcohol.

[0058] The polymerization initiator may be a peroxide, an azo compound, or a persulfate-based compound. Generally, the polymerization initiator is water-soluble and / or oil-soluble. Specific examples of oil-soluble polymerization initiators include 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethyl-4-methoxyvaleronitrile), 1,1'-azobis(cyclohexane-1-carbonitrile), dimethyl 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionate), 2,2'-azobis(2-isobutyronitrile), benzoyl peroxide, di(t-butyl) peroxide, lauryl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, t-butyl peroxypivalate, diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate, and t-butyl peroxypivalate.

[0059] In addition, preferred specific examples of water-soluble polymerization initiators include: 2,2'-azobisisobutylamidine dihydrochloride, 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride, 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] hydrochloride, 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] sulfate hydrate, 2,2'-azobis[2-(5-methyl-2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] hydrochloride, potassium persulfate, barium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, etc. The polymerization initiator is used in an amount of 0.01 to 5 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the monomer.

[0060] Furthermore, a chain transfer agent may be used for molecular weight adjustment. For example, a mercapto group-containing compound may be used. Specific examples include 2-mercaptoethanol, mercaptopropionic acid, and alkylmercaptan. The mercapto group-containing compound is used in an amount of 10 parts by weight or less, for example, 0.01 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the monomer.

[0061] Specifically, the hydrocarbon group-containing polymer can be produced by the following method. In solution polymerization, the monomers are dissolved in an organic solvent, the atmosphere is substituted with nitrogen, and then a polymerization initiator is added. The mixture is then heated and stirred at, for example, 40 to 120°C for 1 to 10 hours. The polymerization initiator is generally an oil-soluble polymerization initiator.

[0062] The organic solvent is inert to the monomers but can dissolve them, and includes: ketones such as acetone and butanone; esters such as ethyl acetate and methyl acetate; glycols such as propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, and low molecular weight polyethylene glycol; alcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol; hydrocarbon solvents such as n-heptane, n-hexane, n-octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, cyclopentane, methylcyclopentane, methylpentane, 2-ethylpentane, isoparaffinic hydrocarbons, liquid paraffin, decane, undecane, dodecane, mineral spirits, turpentine, and petroleum naphtha. Preferred examples of the solvent include acetone, chloroform, HCHC225, isopropyl alcohol, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, tetrachlorodifluoroethane, trichlorotrifluoroethane, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), and dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPM). The organic solvent is used in an amount of 50 to 2000 parts by weight, for example, 50 to 1000 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the total monomers.

[0063] In the emulsion polymerization, a method is adopted in which the monomers are emulsified in water in the presence of an emulsifier, the atmosphere is substituted with nitrogen, a polymerization initiator is added, and the mixture is stirred at a temperature between 40°C and 80°C for 1 to 10 hours to carry out polymerization. The polymerization initiator used is a water-soluble polymerization initiator, such as 2,2'-azobisisobutylamidine dihydrochloride, 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) hydrochloride, 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] hydrochloride, 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] sulfate hydrate, 2,2'-azobis[2-(5-methyl-2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] hydrochloride, potassium persulfate, barium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, or hydrogen peroxide; and Oil-soluble polymerization initiators, such as 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethyl-4-methoxyvaleronitrile), 1,1'-azobis(cyclohexane-1-carbonitrile), dimethyl 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionate), 2,2'-azobis(2-isobutyronitrile), benzyl peroxide, di(t-butyl) peroxide, lauryl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, t-butyl peroxytrimethylacetate, diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate, and t-butyl peroxytrimethylacetate, are used. The polymerization initiator is used in an amount of 0.01 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the monomer.

[0064] To obtain a polymer aqueous dispersion with excellent shelf stability, it is preferred to use an emulsifying device, such as a high-pressure homogenizer or ultrasonic homogenizer, that imparts strong crushing energy to micronize the monomers in water, and then use an oil-soluble polymerization initiator to carry out polymerization. Furthermore, emulsifiers of various types, including anionic, cationic, and nonionic, can be used, with the amount used ranging from 0.5 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the monomers. Anionic and / or nonionic and / or cationic emulsifiers are preferred. If the monomers are not completely compatible, it is preferable to add a compatibilizer to fully compatibility these monomers, such as a water-soluble organic solvent or a low-molecular-weight monomer. The addition of a compatibilizer can improve emulsification and copolymerization properties.

[0065] Examples of water-soluble organic solvents include acetone, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPM), dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, ethanol, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), 3-methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol, or isopentyl glycol. These can be used in an amount ranging from 1 to 50 parts by weight, for example, 10 to 40 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of water. The addition of NMP, DPM, 3-methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol, or isopentyl glycol (preferably in an amount ranging from 1 to 20% by weight, particularly 3 to 10% by weight, relative to the composition) can improve the stability of the composition (especially the emulsion). Furthermore, examples of low-molecular-weight monomers include methyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate. These can be used in an amount ranging from 1 to 50 parts by weight, for example, 10 to 40 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total monomer amount.

[0066] The oil-resistant agent composition is preferably in the form of a solution, emulsion, or aerosol. The oil-resistant agent composition comprises a hydrocarbon-containing polymer and a medium (e.g., a liquid medium such as an organic solvent and water). The oil-resistant agent composition is preferably an aqueous dispersion of the hydrocarbon-containing polymer. In the oil resistant agent composition, the concentration of the hydrocarbon-containing polymer may be, for example, 0.01 to 50% by weight.

[0067] The ionic charge density of the oil-resistant agent composition may be -5000 μeq / g or higher, -2500 μeq / g or higher, -1500 μeq / g or higher, -500 μeq / g or higher, 0 μeq / g or higher, 100 μeq / g or higher, or 200 μeq / g or higher, preferably -2500 μeq / g or higher, more preferably -400 μeq / g or higher, for example, 0 μeq / g or higher. The ionic charge density of the oil-resistant agent composition may be 7500 μeq / g or lower, 5000 μeq / g or lower, 2500 μeq / g or lower, 1000 μeq / g or lower, 500 μeq / g or lower, 350 μeq / g or lower, 300 μeq / g or lower, or 250 μeq / g or lower, preferably 5000 μeq / g or lower, more preferably 800 μeq / g or lower, for example, 300 μeq / g or lower. In particular, the ionic charge density of the oil-proofing agent composition is preferably -2500 to 5000 μeq / g, more preferably -400 to 800 μeq / g (e.g., 210 μeq / g, 250 μeq / g, or 300 μeq / g). The ionic charge density of the oil-proofing agent composition can be measured, for example, by the following method. <Measurement of ionic charge density> The anion demand of a 0.1 g / L aqueous solution of the sample was measured using a particle charge analyzer (MUTEK PCD-04 manufactured by BTG) using a 1 / 1000 equivalent potassium polyvinylsulfonate solution, and the ionic charge density (cationic charge density) was calculated using the following formula (1). Alternatively, a polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride solution was used instead of potassium polyvinylsulfonate, and the cation demand was similarly measured, and the ionic charge density (anionic charge density) was calculated using the following formula (1). [Number 1] Ionic charge density (μeq / g) = A / B (1) A: Cation demand or anion demand (μeq / L) B: Sample solution concentration (g / L)

[0068] The organic solvent in the polymer solution can be removed by heating (preferably under reduced pressure) the polymer solution (for example, at a temperature above 30° C., for example, at 50 to 120° C.).

[0069] The oil-proofing agent composition can be used to treat paper substrates (eg, surface treatment, internal treatment). The oil-resistant agent composition can be applied to the substrate by conventional methods. Typically, the composition is dispersed in an organic solvent or water for dilution, then applied to the substrate by known methods such as dip coating, spray coating, or bubble coating, followed by drying (surface treatment). Alternatively, the composition is added to a pulp slurry and then dehydrated, formed, and dried by known methods (internal application treatment). Examples of the paper substrate to be processed include paper, containers formed from paper, and molded articles formed from paper (e.g., pulp molds). The hydrocarbon-containing polymers disclosed herein adhere well to paper substrates.

[0070] Paper can be manufactured using conventional papermaking methods. The oil-resistant agent composition can be added to the pulp slurry before papermaking, or applied to the paper after papermaking. The oil-resistant agent composition treatment method disclosed herein is preferably an internal addition method.

[0071] The sizing of the additional treatment method can also be distinguished by the different coating methods as follows. One coating method involves supplying the coating liquid (glue) to a nip formed by passing the paper between two rubber rollers to create a reservoir called a pool. The paper is then passed through this reservoir, coating both sides of the paper with glue. This is known as pool-type twin-roll sizing. Other coating methods include gate roller sizing, which uses a surface transfer die to apply the glue, and rod metering size press sizing. With pool-type twin-roll sizing, the glue easily penetrates the interior of the paper, while with surface transfer sizing, the glue components tend to remain on the surface. Compared to pool-type twin-roll sizing, the coating layer tends to remain on the paper's surface, forming a more oil-resistant layer on the surface. In the present disclosure, even when the former pool-type double-roll sizing is used, oil resistance can be imparted to paper. The paper thus treated is briefly dried at room temperature or elevated temperature and then optionally heat treated at a temperature up to 300°C, for example, up to 200°C, and particularly within a temperature range of 80°C to 180°C, depending on the nature of the paper, thereby exhibiting excellent oil and water resistance.

[0072] This disclosure can be used on: gypsum board base paper, coated base paper, medium-quality paper, general lining materials and corrugated core paper, neutral pure white roll paper, neutral lining materials, rust-proof lining materials, metal-laminated paper, kraft paper, etc. In addition, it can also be used on: neutral printing note paper, neutral coated base paper, neutral PPC paper, neutral thermal paper, neutral pressure-sensitive base paper, neutral inkjet paper, and neutral information paper.

[0073] The pulp raw materials may include any of the following: bleached or unbleached chemical pulps such as kraft pulp or sulfite pulp; high-yield pulps such as wood pulp, mechanical pulp, or thermomechanical pulp; and waste paper pulps such as old newspapers, old magazine paper, corrugated cardboard, and deinked paper. Furthermore, mixtures of the above pulp raw materials with synthetic fibers such as asbestos, polyamides, polyimides, polyesters, polyolefins, and polyvinyl alcohol may also be used.

[0074] Sizing agents may be added to improve the water resistance of paper. Examples of sizing agents include cationic sizing agents, anionic sizing agents, and rosin-based sizing agents (e.g., acidic rosin-based sizing agents and neutral rosin-based sizing agents). The amount of sizing agent can be 0.01 to 5% by weight relative to the paper pulp.

[0075] In the paper, commonly used papermaking chemicals may include, as needed, paper strengthening agents such as starch, modified starch, carboxymethyl cellulose, and polyamide polyamine-epichlorohydrin resins, coagulants, fixatives, retention aids, dyes, fluorescent dyes, slime control agents, and defoaming agents, among other additives used in paper production. Starch and modified starch are preferred. Starch, polyvinyl alcohol, dyes, coatings, anti-slip agents, etc. may also be used as needed, and the oil-proofing agent composition may be applied to paper by sizing, gate roll coating, bill-blade coating, calendaring, etc.

[0076] In the external application, the amount of the hydrocarbon-containing polymer in the oil-resistant layer is preferably 0.01 to 2.0 g / m², particularly preferably 0.1 to 1.0 g / m². The oil-resistant layer is preferably formed from the oil-resistant composition and starch and / or modified starch. The solid content of the oil-resistant composition for paper in the oil-resistant layer is preferably 2 g / m² or less. In the internal addition, the oil resistant agent composition is preferably mixed with the paper pulp in an amount of 0.01 to 50 parts by weight or 0.01 to 30 parts by weight, for example 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, and particularly 0.2 to 5.0 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the paper pulp. In the external addition and internal addition, the weight ratio of starch and modified starch to hydrocarbon-containing polymer can be 10:90 to 98:2.

[0077] In the external application, even if a so-called pool-type two-roll sizing treatment is used, in which the treatment liquid is stored between the rolls and the base paper is passed through the treatment liquid between the rolls at an arbitrary roll speed and nip pressure, oil resistance can be imparted to the paper.

[0078] The hydrocarbon-containing polymer can be nonionic, cationic, anionic, or amphoteric. During the external treatment, the paper substrate may contain additives such as sizing agents, paper strengthening agents, coagulants, retention aids, or coagulants. These additives can be nonionic, cationic, anionic, or amphoteric. The ionic charge density of the additives can be between -10,000 and 10,000 μeq / g, preferably between -4,000 and 8,000 μeq / g, and more preferably between -1,000 and 7,000 μeq / g. The amount of additives (solid content or active ingredient) such as sizing agents, paper strengthening agents, coagulants, retention aids, or coagulants relative to the paper pulp is generally 0.1 to 10% by weight (e.g., 0.2 to 5.0% by weight). For paper substrates containing cationic additives (e.g., sizing agents, paper strengthening agents, coagulants, retention aids, or coagulants), the oil-resistant agent composition is preferably anionic.

[0079] In the internal addition process, papermaking is preferably performed using a pulp slurry having a pulp concentration of 0.1 to 5.0% by weight (e.g., 0.3 to 4.0% by weight). Additives (e.g., sizing agents, paper strengthening agents, coagulants, retention aids, or coagulants) and a hydrocarbon-containing polymer may be added to the pulp slurry. Since paper pulp is generally anionic, at least one of the additive and the hydrocarbon-containing polymer is preferably cationic or amphoteric in order to ensure good adhesion of the additive and the hydrocarbon-containing polymer to the paper. Preferred combinations include: a cationic or amphoteric additive and an anionic hydrocarbon-containing polymer; a combination of an anionic additive and a cationic or amphoteric hydrocarbon-containing polymer; and a combination of a cationic or amphoteric additive and a hydrocarbon-containing polymer. It is more preferred to set the ionic charge density of additives such as sizing agents, paper strengthening agents, coagulants, retention aids or coagulants to -1000 to 7000 μeq / g for papermaking, and it is even more preferred to set the ionic charge density to 100 to 1000 μeq / g (for example, 330 μeq / g, 420 μeq / g or 680 μeq / g) for papermaking.

[0080] Examples of additives (such as sizing agents, paper strengthening agents, coagulants, retention aids, or coagulants) include: alkyl ketene dimer (AKD), alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), styrene-based polymers (styrene / maleic acid polymers, styrene / acrylic acid polymers), urea-formaldehyde polymers, polyethyleneimine, melamine-formaldehyde polymers, polyamide-epichlorohydrin polymers, polyacrylamide polymers, polyamine polymers, polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride, alkylamine-epichlorohydrin condensates, condensates of ethylene dichloride and polyalkylene polyamines, dicyandiamide-formaldehyde condensates, dimethyldiallylammonium chloride polymers, and olefin / maleic anhydride polymers. Examples of the polyacrylamide polymer include nonionic polyacrylamide polymers, anionic polyacrylamide polymers, and amphoteric polyacrylamide polymers.

[0081] The oil-resistant composition is mixed with a substrate, such as resin or paper, and imparts oil resistance to the substrate.

[0082] When the oil-resistant agent composition is used as an internal treatment agent, it can be added to a resin, such as a thermoplastic resin, to impart oil resistance to the resin. The oil-resistant agent composition can be used when manufacturing resin molded articles. The polymer is obtained by removing the liquid medium, or the liquid medium and emulsifier, from a liquid (solution or dispersion) containing the polymer. For example, the polymer can be obtained by reprecipitating the polymer dispersion (aqueous dispersion or organic solvent dispersion) with water or an organic solvent and then drying it.

[0083] For example, a molded article can be produced by a production method comprising the following steps: a step of mixing a resin and a polymer to obtain a resin composition, and a step of molding the resin composition. Preferably, the molded article is produced by melt-kneading using an extruder or the like. Generally speaking, thermoplastic resins and polymers are compatible in a molten state. Kneading can be performed using conventional methods, such as a single-screw extruder, a twin-screw extruder, or rollers. The resulting resin composition is then formed by extrusion, injection molding, compression molding, blow molding, or molding. The resin composition is formed into molded articles of various shapes. After forming, the resulting molded articles can be further heated in an oven, drying furnace, or the like. The molded articles can be single-layer or have multiple layers, such as 2 to 10 layers, for example 3 to 5 layers.

[0084] The substrate may be paper, especially pulp moulding. Pulp molds can be made by filling a mold with pulp slurry containing an oil-resistant composition and allowing water to penetrate the mold to form the pulp. Alternatively, injection molding can be used as the molding method. Pulp molds can be manufactured by filling the cavity of a water-permeable mold for pulp molds with papermaking liquid and allowing the water to penetrate the mold to form the mold. Methods for allowing the water in the pulp slurry to penetrate the mold include allowing the water to penetrate naturally under normal pressure and forcing the water to penetrate by reducing the pressure outside the mold. In injection molding, a molding material containing pulp, starch, water, and an oil-resistant agent is injection-molded to produce a three-dimensional structure (pulp mold).

[0085] The conductivity of the pulp slurry (to which the oil-resistant agent composition has been added) can be 0.1 to 2000 μS / cm, 0.1 to 1000 μS / cm, 1 to 800 μS / cm, or 10 to 500 μS / cm. Within these ranges, high oil resistance is achieved. The conductivity can be measured using, for example, the LAQUAtwin AS-EC-33 manufactured by AS ONE. The pH of the pulp slurry is preferably 4 to 9, more preferably 5 to 8, and even more preferably 6 to 7. Within this range, high oil resistance is obtained. The hardness of the water used for the pulp slurry is preferably 5000 ppm or less, more preferably 3000 ppm or less, even more preferably 1000 ppm or less, and particularly preferably 500 ppm or less. Within this range, high oil resistance can be achieved.

[0086] Molded articles can be used in applications where thermoplastic resins are used, particularly those that exhibit excellent dirt removability and damage resistance. Applications for these molded articles include: automobiles (exterior and interior parts) (e.g., bumpers, instrument panels, door trims), home appliances (e.g., washing machines and refrigerators) (e.g., housings, refrigerator inner doors, trays, and fruit and vegetable compartment containers), various housings, buildings (interiors and parts) (e.g., handrails, wallpaper, tables, chairs, toilet seats and lids, bathtubs), electronic equipment (e.g., smartphone housings), drains, pipelines, tableware, flooring, gasoline tanks, fuel pipes, and office automation equipment. Among these applications, automotive interior parts, home appliance interior parts, and buildings are particularly preferred. Preferably, the oil resistant agent composition is added to the thermoplastic resin and the oil resistant agent composition and the thermoplastic resin are mixed (internal addition treatment).

[0087] In this disclosure, the article being treated is treated with an oil-resistant composition. "Treatment" refers to applying the oil-resistant composition to the article being treated by impregnation, spraying, coating, mixing, or addition. The treatment allows the hydrocarbon-containing polymer, an active ingredient in the oil-resistant composition, to penetrate the interior of the article being treated and / or adhere to its surface. The hydrocarbon-containing polymer adheres to the interior and / or surface of the article being treated. When the treated object is, for example, pulp slurry or thermoplastic resin, the hydrocarbon-containing polymer, which is an effective component of the oil-proofing agent composition, is attached to the interior and / or surface of the treated object by the treatment.

[0090] [Softening point] The softening point of the polymer was determined by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement (DMA). The polymer aqueous dispersion was dried in an oven at approximately 130°C for 30 minutes to obtain a sample copolymer for measurement. In the case of an emulsified polymer, 10 g of the aqueous dispersion was dispersed in 20 g of isopropyl alcohol and centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 60 minutes to separate the polymer from the emulsifier, obtaining the sample copolymer for measurement. The complex viscosity (η*) of the polymer was measured using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring apparatus, RHEOSOL-G3000 (manufactured by UBM Co., Ltd.), at a heating rate of 1°C / min. The softening point was defined as the temperature at which the complex viscosity reached 1.0 × 10⁴.

Subsequently, 0.3 g of a 5% solids aqueous solution of alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) (Hercon (registered trademark) 79 manufactured by Solenis) as a sizing agent was added, and stirring was continued for 1 minute. Then, 3.5 g of the aqueous dispersion of Synthesis Example 1, diluted with water to a solid content of 10%, was added, and stirring was continued for 1 minute.

[0100] The pulp slurry is placed in a metal tank. A metal pulp mold with numerous suction holes is located at the bottom of the tank, with a mesh positioned above it. A vacuum pump is used to extract and dehydrate the aqueous pulp-containing composition from the side of the mold opposite the mesh, through the mold and the mesh. This allows the solids (pulp, etc.) contained in the aqueous pulp-containing composition to accumulate on the mesh, resulting in an intermediate pulp mold. The intermediate pulp mold is then pressurized and dried from above and below by metal male and female molds heated to 60 to 200°C. This results in a pulp molded product shaped like a container. The ratio of each component relative to the pulp content in the resulting pulp molded product, as well as the results of evaluations of its high-temperature oil and water resistance, are shown in Table 1.
