Abstract
Abstract Self-inverting emulsion polymers and their use as drainage aids, retention aids, saveall flotation aids and process water flocculants. The polymers are copolymers and homopolymers based on acrylamide, polymerized in the presence of water, an inert hydrophobic liquid, free radical catalyst and an emulsifier having a HLB of at least 7.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A stable, self-inverting water-in-oil acrylamide, acrylamide/acrylic acid, acrylamide/2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid, acrylamide/3-acrylamido-3-methyl butyl trimethyl ammonium chloride or acrylamide/2-methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium methosulfate polymer-containing emulsion prepared by a process which comprises polymerizing the corresponding monomer or monomers at a temperature at from about 0° to about 100° C. with agitation in the presence of water, an inert hydrophobic liquid and a free radical catalyst, and also in the presence of at least 20 percent by weight, based on the weight of the oil phase, of an emulsifier having an HLB of at least 7, and continuing the polymerization until the reaction is substantially complete.
