  • Process for emulsion polymerization of vinylidene halides and product thereof
    Patent number: 4098978
    Abstract: At least one vinylidene halide monomer is polymerized in an aqueous emulsion medium in admixture with ammonium persulfate and at least one ammoniated anionic emulsifier, preferably also together with hydrogen peroxide. The polymerization process is maintained at a pH of at least about 8.5 using ammonium hydroxide. The polymerization process is conducted in the substantial absence of alkali metal ions. Polymerization is both rapid and linear. The resulting polymers have excellent heat stability and water whitening resistance.
