" ADDITION OF ORGANIC INITIATORS DURING THE PRESSURE DROP IN VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER POLYMERIZATION REACTIONS”

Application 1385/CHENP/2004 published 2006-02-03, filed 2004-06-21
The invention pertains to a process to polymerize one or more monomers wherein one or more initiators and optionally one or more surfactants are added to a polymerization mixture when the pressure in the polymerization reactor is dropping. This process allows a shorter polymerization time due to a higher pressure drop rate at the end of the polymerization reaction. Moreover, the cooling capacity of the polymerization reactor us used more efficiently.
