  • Publication number: 20100130679
    Abstract: The preparation of vinyl ester homo- or copolymers by emulsion polymerization is described. The process is performed in the presence of a polymerization-retarding component in at least two phases, the concentration of the vinyl ester monomer in the polymerization mixture in the first phase having been depleted by not more than 50% at the end of the first phase compared to the concentration of the vinyl ester monomer in the polymerization mixture at the start of the first phase, and the concentration of the vinyl ester monomer in the polymerization mixture in the second phase being depleted compared to the concentration at the end of the first phase. The retarding component is depleted during the first phase. In the second phase, the heat of reaction is removed by evaporative cooling.

  • Patent number: 7244812
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing the amount of residual monomers in aqueous polymer dispersions means of chemical post-treatment. Post-treatment in the aqueous polymer dispersion is carried out by adding a redox system which contains a) 0.005-5 wt. % of an oxidation agent which contains an organic peroxide. and b) 0.005-5 wt. % of a reduction agent which contains sulfinic acids or salts thereof. Additionally the redox system can, optionally, contain catalytic amounts of a polyvalent metallic ion which can be treated in several valent stages. Post-treatment can be carried out at a temperature ranging from 20-100.degree. C. and at a PH-value ranging from 2-9. The invention also relates to the use of the inventive post-treated polymer dispersion for producing adhesives, coatings, powders, constructive chemical products or for refining textiles or paper.
