Abstract
There is disclosed a process for preparing vinyl dispersion resins by conducting the polymerization reaction of the vinyl monomer or monomers in an aqueous medium using a low water solubility free radical yielding polymerization initiator or catalyst along with an inorganic or organic activator, using a fast reaction at the beginning of polymerization by employing a temperature below the desired temperature, then at the desired temperature and finally above the desired temperature, using an emulsifier system of an ammonium or an alkali metal salt of a high fatty acid containing from 8 to 20 carbon atoms, and/or a sulfate or sulfonate type soap, and at least one long straight chain alcohol containing from 12 to 24 carbon atoms, and conducting said polymerization in a reactor having a coating on the inner surfaces thereof comprising a polymerization inhibitor, the ingredients being thoroughly mixed prior to polymerization. Polymer buildup on the internal surfaces of the reactor is substantially reduced.
