Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process to prepare a vinylidene chloride heteropolymer comprising copolymerizing vinylidene chloride with at least one comonomer selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylates, non-vinylidene chloride vinyl monomers and combinations thereof in the presence of an indicator, wherein the indicator is soluble in vinylidene chloride, the at least one comonomer, or a mixture of the vinylidene chloride and the at least one comonomer is provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A process to prepare a vinylidene chloride copolymer, wherein the process comprises: copolymerizing vinylidene chloride with at least one comonomer selected from the group consisting of an alkyl acrylate, a non-vinylidene chloride vinyl monomer and combinations thereof in the presence of an indicator, wherein the indicator is soluble in vinylidene chloride, the at least one comonomer, or a mixture of the vinylidene chloride and the at least one comonomer, and wherein the indicator is 2,2′-(2,5-thiophenylenediyl)bis(5-tert-butylbenzoxazole). 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one comonomer is methyl acrylate or vinyl chloride. 3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the copolymerizing occurs in a suspension polymerization process. 4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the copolymerizing occurs in an emulsion polymerization process. 5. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising adding at least one additive selected from the group consisting of a plasticizer and an epoxidized oil. 6. The process according to claim 5 , wherein prior to polymerization, the indicator used for addition is prepared by uniformly mixing it with at least a portion of at least one from the group selected from vinylidene chloride, the at least one comonomer, and the at least one additive. 7. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising adding a suspending agent to the vinylidene chloride and at least one comonomer prior to the copolymerizing step.
