Polymerization process comprising the steps of: (a) reacting an aqueous suspension comprising initiator, vinyl chloride, and optionally one or more co-monomers in a continuous stirred tank reactor; and (b) further reacting the resulting suspension in at least one second reactor; wherein the conversion level of vinyl chloride in the continuous stirred tank reactor of step (a) is from 10 to 60 wt %.

Continuous process for the production of vinyl chloride (co)polymers

A process for the polymerization of one or more monomers wherein at least one anhydride and at least one peroxy compound selected from inorganic peroxides, organic hydroperoxides, and peroxyacids are dosed during the polymerization reaction in a continuous or intermittent fashion to a reaction mixture comprising said monomers.

Polymerization process with in-situ initiator formation

Emulsion comprising an oil phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, wherein said oil phase comprises at least 53 wt % of one or more organic peroxides, more than 50 wt % of which have a molecular active oxygen content of at least 7.00 5 wt %, said emulsion satisfying the classification tests for organic peroxide type F. This emulsion allows the safe transport and storage of organic peroxide emulsions with high active oxygen content without the need for larger vent openings or higher design pressure of transport tanks and storage tanks.

Storage stable and safe peroxide emulsions with a high active oxygen content

The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion polymerization process for preparing a (co)polymer wherein an organic peroxide is used as initiator (as a source of free radicals) during the polymerization process in conjunction with an effective amount of an organic peroxide stabilizing additive (controlling agent). The invention also relates to formulations comprising an organic peroxide and an effective amount of an organic peroxide stabilizing additive suitable for use in said polymerization process. The invention finally relates to 10 (co)polymers obtainable by the dispersion polymerization process.

Polymerization process for preparing (co)polymers

The invention relates to highly concentrated aqueous emulsions of peroxides comprising an anti-freeze agent, a polyvinyl acetate with a degree of hydrolysis between 45 and 80%, and optionally a non-ionic surfactant with an HLB value greater than 10 selected from alkylene oxide block-copolymers, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, and ethoxyfated fatty acids. The emulsions have a low COD value and are safe, storage stable, and generally applicable.

Highly concentrated, stable, and safe diacyl peroxide and peroxydicarbonate emulsions with a low chemical oxygen demand value

The invention relates to a process to make and use specific diacyl peroxides in polymerization reactions. The peroxides are produced and used in a polymerization process within a short timeframe in order to overcome stability issues associated with them.
