Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a polymer scale adhesion preventive agent for polymerizing a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and a method for producing a polymer using the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method for polymerizing a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond, a suspension polymerization method, an emulsion polymerization method, a solution polymerization method, a gas phase polymerization method, a bulk polymerization method and the like are known. ing. In any of these polymerization methods, adhesion of the polymer scale is likely to occur on the inner wall of the polymerization vessel, the agitator, and the like where the monomer comes into contact.

When the polymer scale adheres, the yield of the polymer, the cooling capacity of the polymerization vessel and the like decrease, and the polymer scale peels off and is mixed into the polymer, and is obtained by molding the polymer. The disadvantage is that the quality of the molded product is reduced. Moreover, not only excessive labor and time are required to remove the adhered polymer scale,
Since the unreacted monomer is contained in this polymer scale, there is a risk of human injury due to the monomer, which has become a very serious problem in recent years.

As for the prevention of adhesion of the polymer scale to the inner wall of the polymerization vessel, the polarities of amine compounds, quinone compounds, aldehyde compounds, etc. have been used, as has been carried out, for example, in suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride. A method of applying a polymer scale anti-adhesion agent composed of an organic compound to the inner wall of a polymerization vessel to form a coating film, or a method of adding these compounds to an aqueous medium is known (Japanese Patent Publication No. 45-30343).
issue).

However, although these methods show an effect of preventing polymer scale adhesion when repeating the polymerization up to about 5 to 6 batches, when the number of polymerization batches is larger than that, the preventive effect disappears (in terms of sustainability). Inferior). In this respect, the use of a water-soluble catalyst has a particularly great effect and is not industrially satisfactory.

In order to overcome this disadvantage, JP-A-53-13689 proposes to use a condensation product of an aromatic amine compound as a polymer scale anti-adhesion agent. When a coating film containing the condensation product of this aromatic amine compound is formed on the inner wall of the polymerization vessel where the monomer contacts, even if the polymerization is repeated about 100 to 200 batches, the liquid phase portion in the polymerization vessel No polymer scale deposition occurs. Also, when a water-soluble catalyst is used, polymer scale adhesion in the liquid phase part is also prevented.

[0007]

However, there is a drawback that polymer scale adheres to the vicinity of the interface between the gas phase portion and the liquid phase portion located in the upper layer portion in the polymerization vessel. Once the polymer scale adheres to the vicinity of the interface between the gas phase part and the liquid phase part, the polymer scale that adheres gradually grows as the polymerization is repeated, and finally it peels off and enters the polymer. I have something to do. Thus, when the polymer scale is mixed in the polymer, when the polymer is processed into a molded article such as a sheet, many fish eyes are generated in the resulting molded article, and the quality of the molded article is significantly deteriorated. It will be.

When the polymer obtained by the polymerization is processed into a molded product such as a sheet, the molded product obtained is required to have high whiteness. That is, even if the polymer is molded into a sheet or the like without adding any coloring agent, the molded product obtained is somewhat colored. This coloring is called initial coloring, and it is desired that the coloring be as small as possible. However, since the coating film composed of the condensation product of the aromatic amine compound may be peeled off or dissolved and mixed into the polymer, the whiteness of the molded article is lowered, that is, the initial colorability is deteriorated.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to polymerize a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond, not only in the liquid phase part in the polymerization vessel but also in the vicinity of the interface between the gas phase part and the liquid phase part. In addition, it is possible to effectively prevent the adhesion of the polymer scale, and when molded into a sheet or the like, a polymer is obtained in which a molded product having very few fish eyes and good initial colorability is obtained. An object of the present invention is to provide a polymer scale anti-adhesion agent and a method for producing a polymer.

Formation of coating film A polymer scale anti-adhesive agent consisting of an alkaline solution containing a condensation product of the component (A) and the component (B) prepared as described above was used to coat the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel. In order to form a coating film, first, the inhibitor is applied to the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel, then sufficiently dried in a temperature range from room temperature to 100 ° C., and then washed with water as necessary.

It is preferable to apply not only to the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel, but also to other portions where the monomer contacts during the polymerization. For example, a stirring blade,

The above coating operation may be carried out every 1 to 10 or more batches of polymerization. Since the formed coating film has high durability and the action of preventing the polymer scale from adhering continues, it is not always necessary to perform it for each batch of polymerization, so that the productivity is improved.

Polymerization As described above, a coating process is applied to the inner wall of the polymerization vessel, and preferably to other areas where the monomer contacts during polymerization to form a coating film, which is then subjected to a conventional method in the polymerization vessel. Polymerize. That is, in addition to a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and a polymerization initiator (catalyst), if necessary, a polymerization medium such as water, and a suspending agent, a solid dispersant, a nonionic or anionic emulsifier. Then, a dispersant and the like are charged, and then polymerization is performed by a conventional method.

A general polymerization method will be specifically described below by taking the cases of suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization as examples. First,
Water and a dispersant are charged into a polymerization vessel, and then a polymerization initiator is charged. Next, the inside of the polymerization vessel was evacuated and the pressure was reduced to 0.1 to 760 mmHg, and then monomers were charged (at this time, the internal pressure of the polymerization vessel was
Usually 0.5 to 30 kgf / cm ² · G), then 30 to 150
Polymerize at reaction temperature of ° C. During the polymerization, if necessary,
One or more of water, a dispersant and a polymerization initiator are added. Further, the reaction temperature at the time of polymerization varies depending on the type of monomer to be polymerized, for example, in the case of vinyl chloride polymerization, the polymerization is carried out at 30 to 80 ° C., and in the case of styrene polymerization, it is 50
Polymerize at ~ 150 ° C. For polymerization, the internal pressure of the polymerization vessel is 0 to 7 kg.
When it decreases to f / cm ² · G, or when there is almost no difference between the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature of the cooling water that flows in and out of the jacket mounted on the outer periphery of the polymerization vessel (that is, the heat generated by the polymerization reaction disappears). It is judged that it has been completed. Water, a dispersant, and a polymerization initiator charged during polymerization are usually 20 to 500 parts by weight of water, 0.01 to 30 parts by weight of a dispersant, and 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of a polymerization initiator with respect to 100 parts by weight of a monomer. It is a department.

In the case of solution polymerization, an organic solvent such as toluene, xylene or pyridine is used instead of water as a polymerization medium. A dispersant is used as needed.
Other polymerization conditions are generally the same as those for suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization.

In the case of bulk polymerization, about 0.01 to about
After evacuating to a pressure of 760 mmHg, a monomer and a polymerization initiator are charged in the polymerization vessel and polymerization is carried out at a reaction temperature of -10 to 250 ° C. For example, in the case of vinyl chloride polymerization, 30-80 ℃
In the case of styrene polymerization, it is carried out at 50 to 150 ° C.

When the polymer scale adhesion prevention method of the present invention is applied to carry out polymerization, the polymer scale adhesion can be prevented regardless of the material of the inner wall surface of the polymerization vessel. The adhesion of polymer scale can be prevented even when the polymerization is carried out in a steel or other steel-made polymerization vessel, a glass-lined polymerization vessel, or the like.

The additives added to the polymerization system can be used without any restrictions. That is, for example, t-
Butyl peroxy neodecanoate, bis (2-ethylhexyl) peroxydicarbonate, 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl peroxide, α-cumylperoxy neodecanoate, cumene hydroperoxide,

The polymer scale adhesion preventive agent of the present invention may be used for forming a coating film on the inner wall surface of a polymerization vessel or the like, and may be further added directly to the polymerization system to improve the scale prevention effect. You can also let it. In this case, the amount of the polymer scale anti-adhesion agent added is appropriately about 10 to 1000 ppm with respect to the total weight of the charged monomers. When adding, care should be taken not to affect the quality of the polymer such as fish eye, bulk specific gravity and particle size distribution.
