Use of phenothiazine derivatives to inhibit scale build up during polymerization of vinyl chloride

摘要

Polyvinyl chloride reactor wall scale is reduced by conducting the polymerization in the presence of a phenothiazine dimer or higher oligomer made by reacting an aldehyde such as acetaldehyde or benzaldehyde with phenothiazine, or by reacting 2-acetylphenothiazine with formaldehyde.
