Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a method of incorporating solid additives into vinyl chloride polymers. More precisely the invention relates to a method of incorporating said additives during the polymerization process which is commenced as a mass polymerization and completed as a suspension polymerization.

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
AN IMPROVED METHOD FOR INCORPORATING SOLID ADDITIVES IN VINYL CHLORIDE POLYMERS CONSISTING OF VINYL CHLORIDE AND UP TO 30% BY WEIGHT OF A COPOLYMERIZABLE MONOMER, WHICH COMPRISES: A. INTRODUCING THE MONOMERS TO BE POLYMERIZED INTO A FIRST ZONE TOGETHER WITH INSOLUBLE SOLID ADDITIVES HAVING A PARTICLE SIZE WITHIN THE RANGE 0.01 - 20 UM AND CARRYING OUT MASS POLYMERIZATION TO A CONVERSION UP TO 20%, B. ADDING WATER AND OTHER-WATER-SOLUBLE POLYMERIZATION AIDS TO THE PRODUCTS OF STEP A, AND C. CARRYING OUT SUPENSION POLYMERZATION UNTIL THE DESIRED DEGREE OF CONVERSATION OF THE MONOMERS BEEN OBTAINED.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
110 words
An improved method for incorporating solid additives in vinyl chloride polymers consisting of vinyl chloride and up to 30% by weight of a copolymerizable monomer, which comprises: a. introducing the monomers to be polymerized into a first zone together with between 10 and 60% by weight based on the monomers present of insoluble solid additives having a particle size within the range 0.01 - 20 Mu m and carrying out mass polymerization to a conversion up to 20%, b. adding water and other water-soluble polymerization aids to the products of step a, and c. carrying out suspension polymerization until the desired degree of conversion of the monomers has been obtained.
