Polymer scale preventive agent

摘要

A polymer scale preventive agent for use in the polymerization of a monomer containing an ethylenic double bond is provided. The agent includes (A) a condensation reaction product obtained by reacting an aldehyde compound and a hydroxynaphthalene-based compound in the presence of a reducing agent, and (B) a polymer compound containing a nitrogen atom. This agent is capable of forming a coating with satisfactory scale prevention properties on inner wall surfaces of a polymerization vessel with a single-stage application, enabling the production process time to be shortened and the productivity and quality of polymeric products improved. <IMAGE>
