PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a resin particle having 50% or more restoration rate, capable of imparting a soft touch feeling and sufficient scratch resistance to a coating film, and imparting a soft touch feeling to a product such as an external preparation and a coating material and an external preparation including the resin particle.SOLUTION: A resin particle comprises a polymer of a monomer mixture. The monomer mixture includes a monofunctional (meth)acrylic acid ester-based monomer having a 22-30C linear or branched alkyl group and a crosslinkable monomer having two or more ethylenic unsaturated groups. The resin particle has compressive strength at 10% compression deforming in a range of 0.5-6.0 MPa.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】復元率が50%以上で、塗膜に軟らかい触感と十分な耐傷付き性を付与することができ、外用剤等の製品に軟らかい触感を付与することができる樹脂粒子、並びに、この樹脂粒子を含む塗料及び外用剤を提供する。【解決手段】単量体混合物の重合体を含んでなる樹脂粒子であって、前記単量体混合物は、炭素数22~30の直鎖又は分岐鎖状のアルキル基を有する単官能(メタ)アクリル酸エステル系単量体と、エチレン性の不飽和基を2つ以上有する架橋性単量体とを含み、当該樹脂粒子が、0.5~6.0MPaの範囲内の10%圧縮変形時の圧縮強度を有する。【選択図】なし
