Abstract
A method for the homopolymerization or copolymerization of vinyl chloride, wherein the inner wall of the polymerizer and the like are prevented from being fouled with the resulting polymer by applying a coating fluid containing the oxidative polymerization product of a specific phenolic monomer to the surface of the inner wall of the polymerizer and the like, as well as an anti-fouling agent used for this purpose. The method of this invention can very effectively prevent the polymerizer and the like from being fouled with the resulting polymer without affecting the polymerization rate and various properties of the product. Consequently, the necessity of performing the operation for removal of the deposited polymer after completion of each polymerization cycle is eliminated, thus making it possible to achieve closed polymerization requiring no manhole opening after each polymerization cycle which is becoming increasingly popular in recent years.
