Abstract
Abstract The emulsion polymerization of polyvinyl chloride can be conducted without any appreciable polymer buildup or plate-out on the internal surfaces of the polymerization reactor by utilizing a sodium alkyl sulfosuccinate as the emulsifier in the presence of small amounts, e.g., about 0.01% to 3%, by weight, of an ammonium or alkali metal borate.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the amount of sodium alkyl sulfosuccinate emulsifier ranges from about 0.5% by weight to 3% by weight of the polymerization medium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the amount of borate ranges between about 0.01% by weight and about 3% by weight of the polymerization medium.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
44 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the borate is generated in the polymerization medium by the addition to said medium of boric acid and a compound selected from the group consisting of the hydroxides and bicarbonates of ammonium or the alkali metals.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
17 words
