<p>Production of polyvinylidene fluoride homo- or copolymers by persulfate-initiated radical polymerization in an aqueous dispersion comprises adding sodium acetate before, during or after polymerization, optionally adding a potassium alkylsulfonate after polymerization, and spray drying the dispersion at an air inlet temperature of 120-220[deg]C without previously washing the dispersion with water. Production of polyvinylidene fluoride homo- or copolymers by radical polymerization of vinylidene fluoride and optionally a comonomer in an aqueous dispersion in the presence of a chain transfer agent, a persulfate initiator, optionally a surfactant and optionally a paraffin comprises adding sodium acetate before, during or after polymerization, optionally adding a potassium alkylsulfonate after polymerization, and spray drying the dispersion at an air inlet temperature of 120-220[deg]C without previously washing the dispersion with water. An independent claim is also included for a polyvinylidene fluoride homo- or copolymer that contains sodium acetate, optionally contains a potassium alkylsulfonate, has a surfactant content below 300 ppm, has terminal CF2-CH2-OSO3-> groups and is produced using a persulfate initiator.</p> |
