Abstract
Abstract Photopolymerizable water-soluble or water-dispersible mixtures essentially consisting of a base polymer, at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compound and at least one photoinitiator and/or photosensitizer are stabilized to thermal polymerization by treating the base polymer with a halogen, a pseudohalogen or a polyhalide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
In a process for stabilizing a photopolymerizable mixture consisting essentially of a polymer selected from the group consisting of vinyl alcohol polymers containing --CH 2 CH(OH) structural units in the main chain, their water-soluble or water-dispersible copolymers and derivatives, cellulose derivatives, gelatin and vinyl pyrrolidone polymers, at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compound and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of photoinitiators and photosensitizers to thermal polymerization, the improvement which comprises: pretreating the polymer, prior to preparing said mixture, with a compound selected from the group consisting of halogens, psuedohalogens and polyhalides in the presence of water at from 20° to 100° C. in the course of from half an hour to several days.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
