Loop polymerisation process for producting polymer vinyl and related monomers

摘要

A loop polymerisation process or apparatus primarily for vinyl and related monomers in aqueous suspension. The monomers and water are pumped into four rectangular passageway loops (10) operated at a sheer rate above 800 s<-><1> whilst sustaining laminar flow. The polymer is removed from the passageway loops (10) at a T connector (16).
