The invention discloses a dispersion stabilizer for suspension polymerization of a vinyl compound comprising a vinyl alcohol polymer (A) having a content of an ethylene unit of 0.5 to 10 mol%, a degree of saponification of 60 mol% or more and a degree of polymerization of 600 or more and a vinyl alcohol polymer (B) selected from a vinyl alcohol polymer (B1) having a content of an ethylene unit of 0.5 to 10 mol%, a degree of saponification of 20 to 80 mol% and a degree of polymerization of 100 to 600, a vinyl alcohol polymer (B2) having a degree of saponification of 20 to 60 mol% and a degree of polymerization of 100 to 600 and a vinyl alcohol polymer (B3) having a content of an ethylene unit of 0.5 to 10 mol%, a degree of saponification of 90 mol% or more and a degree of polymerization of 1,000 or more. Further, the invention discloses a process for suspension polymerization of a vinyl compound using the dispersion stabilizer for suspension polymerization.
The dispersion stabilizer for suspension polymerization of the vinyl compound in the invention, by the use of a small amount, exhibits quite an excellent suspension polymerization stability. Further, the suspension polymerization of a vinyl compound using this dispersion stabilizer can produce porous vinyl polymer granules having a sharp particle size distribution and a high bulk density. In the polymer granules, a rate of plasticizer absorption is high to give a high processability, a monomer remaining in polymer granules is easy to remove, and fish eyes in a molded product are decreased in the molding.
本发明公开了一种用于乙烯基化合物悬浮聚合的分散稳定剂,该分散稳定剂包括乙烯基醇聚合物 (A),其乙烯单元含量为 0.5 至 10 摩尔%,皂化度为 60 摩尔%或以上,聚合度为 600 或以上;以及乙烯基醇聚合物 (B),其乙烯单元含量为 0.5 至 10 摩尔%,皂化度为 20 至 80 摩尔%,聚合度为 100 至 600;乙烯基醇聚合物 (B2),其皂化度为 20 至 80 摩尔%,聚合度为 100 至 600。5至10摩尔%、皂化度为20至80摩尔%和聚合度为100至600的乙烯醇聚合物(B1),皂化度为20至60摩尔%和聚合度为100至600的乙烯醇聚合物(B2),以及乙烯单元含量为0.5至10摩尔%、皂化度为90摩尔%或以上和聚合度为1000或以上的乙烯醇聚合物(B3)。此外,本发明还公开了一种使用悬浮聚合用分散稳定剂进行乙烯基化合物悬浮聚合的工艺。
本发明中用于乙烯基化合物悬浮聚合的分散稳定剂只需少量使用,就能表现出相当出色的悬浮聚合稳定性。此外,使用这种分散稳定剂对乙烯基化合物进行悬浮聚合,可以生产出粒度分布均匀、堆积密度高的多孔乙烯基聚合物颗粒。在这种聚合物颗粒中,增塑剂的吸收率高,加工性能好,残留在聚合物颗粒中的单体容易去除,成型产品中的鱼眼也会减少。
