Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing polyoxymethylenes by cationic polymerization of the monomers a) in the presence of initiators b) and optionally in the presence of regulators c) and subsequent deactivation and removal of the polymer. The inventive method is characterized in that during the entire polymerization the overall amount of proton donors is less than 5.000 ppm.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing polyoxymethylene copolymers (POM) in the following manner: a) a reaction mixture containing suitable principal monomers and comonomers in addition to a polymerisation initiator and optionally a chain transfer agent is polymerised; b) a deactivator is added; and c) the residual monomers are removed. The invention is characterised in that at each stage of the method, the maximum quantity of compounds in the reaction mixture, said compounds having a melting point at 1013 hPa of below 60 °C, is 0.1 wt. %, not including the POM, monomers, comonomers, polymerisation initiators, deactivators and chain transfer agent.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for removing unreacted residual monomers from polyoxymethylenes. The inventive method is characterized by carrying out a degassing step in a strand-type degasifier.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for continuous production of styrene polymers by anionic spray polymerization characterized in that i) styrene and the initiator solution are mixed in a dynamic or static mixer and subsequently spray dispensed, ii) the droplets formed transition from the liquid monomeric state into the molten polymeric state during their free fall in the spray tower, iii) the melt droplets are collected as a melt at the foot of the tower, the melt having a monomer content of below 1%, preferably below 0.1% (
