Abstract: Described is the use of synthetic adhesives in the manufacture of corrugated fiberboard at relatively low temperatures and high lineal speeds. The corrugated fiberboard includes a corrugated sheet of paper and a flat linerboard and the corrugation of the corrugated sheet of paper is produced at paper temperatures below 95° C. and at a lineal speed above 150 m/min. The production of the corrugation of a corrugated sheet of paper is immediately followed by a continuous operation in which a preferably unheated corrugated board adhesive is applied and the corrugated sheet of paper is adhered to at least one first linerboard. The corrugated board adhesive used is an aqueous adhesive dispersion based on at least one synthetic, dispersed polymer having preferably more than 40% by weight solids content, selected from acrylate copolymers, copolymers of vinylaromatics and conjugated aliphatic dienes and vinyl acetate-alkylene copolymers, wherein the glass transition temperatures of the polymers are above 20° C.

Abstract: Processes for producing aqueous dispersions of aliphatic polycarbonates are described herein. A solution of the aliphatic polycarbonate in at least one aprotic, organic solvent comprising at least 50% by volume ethyl acetate based on the total amount of the organic solvent is provided. The aliphatic polycarbonate solution is emulsified in an aqueous emulsification medium in the presence of at least one surface-active substance to produce an aqueous emulsion of the aliphatic polycarbonate solution. The apriotic, organic solvent is removed from the emulsion by vaporization.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring exothermic reactions in a reactor, in which one or more starting materials react exothermically to give at least one product, and at least one gas is present in the reactor during operation as intended or during a runaway, comprising the following process: A) measurement and storage of an initial temperature and an initial pressure in the reactor, B) calculation of the amount of products and starting materials present in the reactor from an energy balance, C) calculation of a maximum pressure raise that occurs on stepwise reaction of the amount of starting materials present, and D) calculation of a runaway pressure from the maximum pressure raise that occurs, calculated in step C), and the measured initial pressure stored in step A).

Abstract: A method of on-line monitoring and control of monomer conversion in emulsion polymerization includes continuously balancing, as from an initialization time, the heat QIN, introduced into the reactor, the reaction enthalpy QRE introduced via the monomer feed, and the heat which has been removed from the reactor QOUT, and calculating an amount of heat which has not been removed QAD which would lead to an increase in the internal temperature and the internal pressure of the reactor in the event of a spontaneous adiabatic reaction. A check is carried out as to whether the potential adiabatic temperatures and pressures always lie below prescribed upper limits. If the upper limits are exceeded, the monomer feed to the reactor is throttled back or interrupted.
