Abstract
A process for production of diene rubber polymers wherein, during production of a diene rubber polymer by emulsion polymerization, the polymerization is initiated using a portion of the starting material and the polymerization is continued with either continuous or intermittent dropwise addition of the remainder of the starting material during the polymerization, and wherein at least ½ of the total amount of the water and of the monomer in the starting material used is added dropwise during the polymerization, and the temperature of the dropwise added water and monomer is kept to at least 20° C. below the polymerization temperature. The process can produce industrially useful diene rubber polymer latexes at a high productivity rate.
