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.

Abstract: Subjects of the invention are processes for preparing vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymers in the form of their aqueous dispersions or water-redispersible powders by means of radically initiated emulsion polymerization and optional subsequent drying of the resultant polymer dispersions, characterized in that the emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate, ethylene and optionally one or more further ethylenically unsaturated monomers is carried out in the presence of one or more protective colloids in one or more Taylor reactors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying dispersion adhesives containing one or more polyvinyl esters and optionally one or more additives, characterized in that one or more polyvinyl esters are produced by radical-initiated, continuous emulsion polymerization of a) one or more vinyl esters and, optionally, b) one or more additional ethylenically unsaturated monomers, and the dispersion adhesives are applied to a substrate by way of mechanical application methods.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers by free-radical initiated emulsion polymerization in an aqueous medium in a polymerization reactor, wherein the inside walls and optionally also the fittings in the reactor are coated by applying a deposit-inhibiting product before the reactor is filled, characterized in that the surfaces that are to be coated with deposit-inhibiting product are treated with an acid solution.

Abstract: Problems associates with the mechanical application of adhesives in the form of aqueous dispersions are substantially reduced by employing polyvinyl ester dispersions stabilized with both high and medium viscosity polyvinyl alcohols.
