<p>Disclosed is a method of inhibiting the formation of scale on reactor surfaces in contact with a polymerizing vinyl monomer comprising contacting said monomer with a terpolymer which comprises the condensation reaction product of (A) an aromatic compound that contains the group (I) or (II) where Q is OR or SR and R is hydrogen, alkyl from C1, to C15, or aryl, alkaryl, or aralkyl from C6 to C15 (B) about 0.1 to about 10 moles of a carbonyl compound per mole of said aromatic compound; and (C) about 0.1 to about 10 moles of a thiourea per mole of said aromatic compound.</p> |
