  • Publication number: 20210261704
    Abstract: The present invention provides a modified vinyl alcohol polymer having a side chain with an ethylenic double bond, and having reduced a water-insoluble content and superior storage stability in the form of an aqueous solution. The present invention also provides a method for producing such a modified vinyl alcohol polymer. A dispersion stabilizer for suspension polymerization comprising the modified vinyl alcohol polymer is also provided that provides superior polymerization stability during suspension polymerization of a vinyl compound, and with which reduced formation of coarse particles, high bulk specific gravity, and superior plasticizer absorbability can be achieved, in addition to reducing fisheyes. The present invention also provides a method for producing a vinyl polymer. The present invention relates to a modified vinyl alcohol polymer (A) having a degree of saponification of 68 mol % or more and less than 99.

  • Patent number: 10392495
    Abstract: A composition including 100 parts by mass of a polyvinyl acetal and 30 to 70 parts by mass of a plasticizer including 0.5 to 100% by mass of a plasticizer containing a polar group and 0 to 99.5% by mass of a plasticizer containing no polar group, a total of the plasticizer containing a polar group and the plasticizer containing no polar group being 100% by mass. When the polyvinyl acetal is analyzed by HPLC using an ODS column having an inner diameter of 4 mm and a length of 1 cm, the polyvinyl acetal exhibits a first peak and a second peak derived from polyvinyl acetals. In addition, a laminated product of a layer including a polyvinyl acetal and a layer including a hydrocarbon-based polymer.

  • Publication number: 20060180956
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new dispersion stabilizer that satisfies, at a high level, the performances required for a dispersion stabilizer used for suspension polymerization. A method of producing a dispersion stabilizer that is useable for suspension polymerization of a vinyl compound and contains a vinyl alcohol polymer (A) includes producing the vinyl alcohol polymer (A) by heat-treating a vinyl alcohol polymer (B) at a temperature of 90 to 180° C. for 0.5 to 20 hours in an atmosphere in which an oxygen concentration is 8000 ppm or lower. The vinyl alcohol polymer (B) has a saponification degree of at least 60 mol % and contains a residual acetic acid group whose block character is in the range of 0.3 to 0.6.
