<p>There is provided a process of emulsion polymerization comprising
(a) adding a reactive mixture to a reaction vessel, said reactive mixture comprising water, one or more emulsifier, one or more monomer, and one or more initiator,
(b) providing conditions in which said reactive mixture undergoes emulsion polymerization, and
(c) passing some of the contents of said reaction vessel through a rccirculating loop comprising a low-shear pump and a plate and frame heat exchanger having gap width of 6 to 18 mm,
wherein more than 50% of the heat produced by said emulsion polymerization is removed from the contents of said reaction vessel by said plate and frame heat exchanger.</p> |
