ABSTRACT:
Microporous crumbs of a hydrogenated block copolymer, produced by the process comprising feeding a solution of a hydrogenated block copolymer in a hydrocarbon solvent at a concentration of said hydrogenated block copolymer within a range from 5% to 60% by weight into hot water while maintaining the temperature of said solution at 40.degree. C.-150.degree. C., and then steam stripping at a temperature higher than the boiling point of the hydrocarbon solvent or higher than the azeotropic point of the hydrocarbon solvent and water when they form an azeotropic mixture and lower than 150.degree. C., wherein said hydrogenated block copolymer is obtained by hydrogenating more than 50% of unsaturated bonds derived from conjugated diene of a block copolymer having at least one polymer block consisting essentially of a vinyl aromatic compound and at least one polymer block consisting essentially of a conjugated diene in which the weight ratio of the vinyl aromatic compound to the conjugated diene is within a range from 5/95 to 95/5, and wherein said crumbs have (1) a bulk density of more than 0.18 g/cc, (2) a total volume of micropores of is more than 0.4 cc/g and (3) a ratio of the sum of the volume of micropores having a pore diameter within a range from 0.14 to 3.9 .mu.m based on the total volume of the micropores of more than 8% are provided. The microporous crumbs can absorb a softening agent, a plasticizer and the like uniformly and rapidly, have an excellent handling property and provide molding compounds free of non-melted matters.
