There is provided an excellent impact modifier for a vinyl chloride resin. There is used, as an excellent impact modifier, a copolymer which is prepared by polymerizing 10 to 70% by weight of a monomer or monomers containing 60 to 100% by weight of at least one vinyl monomer selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acrylate compound, an aromatic vinyl compound, a vinyl cyanide compound and vinyl chloride, and 0 to 40% by weight of the other monomer copolymerizable therewith, in the presence of 30 to 90% by weight of a hollow rubber particle of which glass transition temperature Tg is at most 0° C. and a void ratio is 3 to 90% by volume in a latex state, and which contains a cross linking agent in an amount of 0.1 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total rubber component monomer. |
