VERTICAL AUTOCLAVE FOR BULK POLYMERIZATION OF VINYL CHLORIDE BASED POLYMERS AND COPOLYMERS

摘要

A vertical autoclave suitable for the bulk polymerization of vinyl chloride based polymers and copolymers embodying agitation means comprising at least one agitator (A) in the form of helicoidal ribbon about a rotatable shaft in the upper portion of the autoclave and an agitator (B) having a rotatable shaft passing through the bottom portion of the autoclave with at least one arm located adjacent to and having a profile corresponding to the bottom of the autoclave, and means for independently driving the agitators (A) and/or (B).
