摘要:
A method for polymerizing polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride copolymers is provided in which a monomer slurry is formed by adding the monomers and water (hot or cold) in the reaction vessel, and the slurry is brought to reaction temperature. After a time delay of 0 to 15 minutes, an emulsifier package is added, and after a further time delay of 0 to 15 minutes, a catalyst emulsion is added. The emulsifier package comprises a primary emulsifier which is partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of saponification between about 60 and about 90 mole percent and a solubility in methanol index at 55.degree. C. in a range of up to about 60 percent. A secondary emulsifier is included in the emulsifier package which is a preferably cellulosic type emulsifier. Preferably an additional emulsifier is added which is a hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate having a degree of hydrolysis of at least 68 percent. The polymerization product has good bulk density and porosity parameters. Resins produced from this product have low fisheye characteristics.
