Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing polymers for coating applications by polymerizing esters of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid or vinyl aromatics or other free-radically polymerizable vinyl compounds or monomer mixtures composed predominantly of such monomers by means of a continuous polymerization process. In particular, the invention relates to a solvent-free preparation process for polymers, through which the binder can be prepared for coating applications with superior processing properties, very good thermal stability, improved pigment wetting and a higher gloss.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing polymers for paint applications by polymerizing esters of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid or vinyl aromatic compounds or other radically polymerizable vinyl compounds or monomer mixtures that consist predominantly of such monomers by means of a continuous polymerization method. The invention relates in particular to a solvent-free, continuous method of producing polymers, whereby it is possible to produce binders for paint applications having an adjustable granule size. The polymer granulates produced according to the invention are characterized by superior processing properties without fine fractions.

Abstract: Process for preparing an alkoxypolyoxyalkylene (meth)acrylate in which a) a metal alkoxide MetOR10 is initially charged, b) an alkylene oxide of the formula (IV) is added and reacted with the metal alkoxide and c) (meth)acrylic anhydride is added directly and reacted with the reaction product from step b). Appropriately, in step c), a stabilizer mixture is added which comprises, for example, the following components I. at least one compound of the formula (I) II. at least one compound of the formula (IIa or IIb) or of the formula (IV) III.
