A PROCESS FOR CONTINUOUSLY CHLOROSULONATING POLYETHYLENE WHICH COMPRISES (1) RAPIDLY MIXING CHLORINE AND SULFUR DIOXIDE IN A MIXER WITH AN INERT VOLATILE SOLVENT SOLUTION OF POLYETHYLENE TO A HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM ABOUT 85* TO 105*C. AND SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO MAINTAIN ALL COMPONENTS IN THE LIQUID PHASE, (2) PASSING SAID MIXTURE FROM SAID MIXER INTO A REACTION VESSEL, BEFORE MORE THAN ABOUT 1/5 OF THE CHLORINE HAS REACTED DURING MIXING, SAID VESSEL BEING MAINTAINED AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM ABOUT 90* TO 250*C. AND SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO MAINTAIN ALL COMPONENTS IN THE LIQUID PHASE, THE TEMPERATURE OF SAID MIXTURE BEING ABOVE 140* C. PRIOR TO ARRESTING THE REACTION, AND (3) ARRESTING THE REACTION BEFORE ALL THE CHLORINE HAS REACTED BY PASSING SAID MIXTURE TO A CHAMBER OF LOWER PRESSURE WHEREIN THE UNREACTED CHLORINE AND SULFUR DIOXIDE ARE EVAPORATED.
