Abstract: An addition condensation product, i.e., an addition condensation product of an aromatic compound with a carbonyl compound, is obtained as a condensation reaction product in the state of uniform solution or the like, in which clumping caused by agglomeration of the condensation product of the aromatic compound with the carbonyl compound can be prevented by the presence of a surfactant at the time of the condensation reaction. In addition, a coating solution prepared by using an original solution or an adjusted solution whose viscosity is 2.0 mPa·s or greater exhibits an excellent polymer scale adhesion inhibition effect when applied to an inner wall and the like of a polymerization vessel; and in addition, a low-accumulative coating film is formed when the solution is applied to an inner wall and the like of a polymerization vessel.

Abstract: Provided is an addition condensation product of an aromatic compound and a carbonyl compound. The addition condensation product includes an aromatic compound dimer in which two composition units derived from the aromatic compounds are bonded via one composition unit derived from the carbonyl compound and an aromatic compound multimer in which each of three or more composition units derived from the aromatic compounds is bonded via one composition unit derived from the carbonyl compound. A ratio of the aromatic compound dimer to the aromatic compound multimer is in the range of 1:75 to 1:1,000.

Abstract: A production method of an addition condensation product includes a step at which an aromatic compound, a carbonyl compound, and a catalyst are mixed in a reaction solvent, and an addition condensation reaction of the aromatic compound and the carbonyl compound is conducted in the temperature range of 60 to 97° C., both inclusive, to obtain the addition condensation product of the aromatic compound and the carbonyl compound. At the step to obtain the addition condensation product, 1 mole of the aromatic compound is mixed with 0.1 to 0.999 mole, both inclusive, of the carbonyl compound as the mole ratio. A ratio of the aromatic compound dimer to the aromatic compound multimer is in the range of 1:75 to 1:1,000.

Abstract: A method that is capable of producing a vinyl chloride-based polymer having excellent thermal stability without sacrificing productivity is provided. The method includes polymerizing a vinyl chloride-based monomer in the presence of a vanadium compound (A) represented by formula: Vi(?O)jZk (wherein i is an integer of 2 to 5, j represents 0 or 1, Z represents a ligand such as is an organic ligand that can bond to the vanadium atom via a hetero atom, and a plurality of ligands Z may be bonded together to form a ring that also includes the vanadium atom as a member of the ring, and k is an integer from 1 to 5), and in the presence of at least one aluminum compound (B).
