CONTINUITY ADDITIVES AND THEIR USE IN POLYMERIZATION PROCESSES

摘要

A continuity additive according to one general approach includes a substance having an ability to reduce, prevent, or mitigate at least one of fouling, sheeting, and static level of a material present in a polymerization reactor system when added to the reactor system in an effective amount, with the proviso that the substance is not a polysulfone polymer, a polymeric polyamine, or an oil-soluble sulfonic acid; and a scavenger contacted with the substance, optionally, the scavenger neutralizing water coming in contact therewith. Additional continuity additives, methods of making continuity additives, and use of continuity additives are also presented.
