  • Patent number: 9944762
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin in which polyvinyl chloride resin is chlorinated by radiating ultraviolet light in a reactor into which polyvinyl chloride resin and chlorine have been introduced, wherein the radiation of the ultraviolet light is performed by using at least one light source selected from the group consisting of an ultraviolet LED, an organic EL and an inorganic EL, the light source is disposed within the reactor, at least one radiation direction of the ultraviolet light is within a range of 30° or more and 115° or less with respect to a stirring direction of polyvinyl chloride resin, and an amount of ultraviolet light radiated within the range of 30° or more and 115° or less with respect to the stirring direction of polyvinyl chloride resin is 24% or more based on a total amount of ultraviolet light radiated from the light source taken as 100%.

  • Patent number: 9399687
    Abstract: According to a method of the present invention for producing a CPVC resin, the method includes the steps of: introducing chlorine into a slurry of a PVC resin in a first tank; transferring, from the first tank to a second tank, the slurry into which chlorine has been introduced; and irradiating, with UV light, the slurry in the second tank. This method improves an amount of chlorine dissolved into the slurry of the PVC resin and consequently, improves production efficiency of the CPVC resin.

  • Patent number: 9056959
    Abstract: A method for producing a chlorinated vinyl chloride resin of the present invention includes chlorinating a vinyl chloride resin by irradiating the inside of a reactor, into which the vinyl chloride resin and chlorine have been introduced, with ultraviolet light, thereby producing a chlorinated vinyl chloride resin. The irradiation of ultraviolet light is carried out through use of at least one kind of light source selected from the group consisting of an ultraviolet LED, an organic EL, an inorganic EL, and an ultraviolet laser. A chlorinated vinyl chloride resin that shows suppressed initial coloring during hot forming and/or improved thermal stability can be provided by the method for producing a chlorinated vinyl chloride resin of the present invention.
