Abstract
Solid additive particles are added to solid vinylidene chloride (VDC) polymer particles by a process comprising the steps of: A. Polymerizing VDC monomer, optionally with one or more mono-ethylenically unsaturated comonomers, in a polymerization zone under polymerization conditions to form solid VDC polymer particles; B. Stopping the polymerization of the VDC monomers after formation of the solid VDC polymer particles; and C. Contacting the solid VDC polymer particles with the solid additive particles (i) before the solid VDC polymer particles are de-watered, and (ii) at a temperature sufficient to melt or soften the solid additives particles but insufficient to melt or soften the solid VDC polymer particles such that the melted or softened solid additive particles adhere to the solid VDC polymer particles upon contact.
