Abstract
The present invention provides a method of preparing vinyl chloride polymer having excellent processability and high bulk density by the separate stepwise additions of vinyl chloride monomer during suspension polymerization.
Claims12
A method of preparing vinyl chloride polymer comprising:
- suspension-polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer in the presence of a protective colloid auxiliary, a polymerization initiator at a polymerization temperature,
- introducing additional vinyl chloride monomer
- (a) when the polymerization conversion rate reaches from 30 to 40%;
- and
- (b) when the polymerization conversion rate reaches from 60 to 70%,
- suspension-polymerizing the additional vinyl chloride monomer at the polymerization temperature, and
- adding one or more antioxidants selected from a group consisting of a phenol based antioxidant, an amine based antioxidant, a sulfur based antioxidant and a phosphate based antioxidant when the pressure of a reactor reaches 6.0 kg/cm2, to complete the suspension-polymerizing,
- wherein the additional vinyl chloride monomer is not introduced when the polymerization conversion rate is between 40 to 60%,
- wherein the amount of the additional vinyl chloride monomer added when the polymerization conversion rate reaches between 30 and 40% is from 15 to 25 weight part for 100 weight part of the total amount of the monomer;
- wherein the amount of the additional vinyl chloride monomer added when the polymerization conversion rates reaches between 60 to 70% is from 15 to 25 weight part for 100 weight part of the total amount of the monomer;
- wherein the protective colloid auxiliary is present in an amount of between 0.05 and 2.5 weight part for 100 weight part of the total amount of the monomer, and
- wherein the polymerization initiator is present in an amount of between 0.02 and 0.2 weight part for 100 weight part of the total amount of the monomer.
