Resin, active energy ray-curable composition, active energy ray-curable ink, overcoat varnish, paint, adhesive, photoresist, and method for producing printed matter

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a resin that is superior in low tackiness and anti-scumming property at the time of printing and also superior in hot water treatment resistance after printing, an active energy ray-curable composition, an active energy ray-curable ink, an overcoat varnish, a paint, an adhesive, a photoresist, and a method for producing a printed matter. The present invention is a resin that is a copolymer of a monomer group including a styrene-based compound (a) and a vinyl monomer (c) having a hydrophilic group, wherein a content of the styrene-based compound (a) in the monomer group is 50.0 mol % or more and 85.0 mol % or less, and the resin has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 100° C. or more and 150° C. or less.
