Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process and/or method for producing a polymer dispersion by free-radically initiated emulsion polymerization of radically polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers within a polymerization reactor. The polymer dispersion obtained is transferred to a post-treatment reactor and is post-treated therein. The polymer dispersion within the post-treatment reactor is conveyed, simultaneously to the post-treatment, to a circuit for filtration and analysis and is then subsequently fed back into the post-treatment reactor.
