Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Polymerization inhibitor compositions are provided. The polymerization inhibitor compositions may include at least one hydroxylamine of a nitroxide and at least one phenylenediamine. Methods of inhibiting the unwanted polymerization of monomers are also provided. The methods include adding the presently disclosed polymerization inhibitor compositions to a fluid containing the monomers. The monomers may be ethylenically unsaturated monomers, such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, acrolein, methacrolein, acrylate, methacrylate, acrylamide, methacrylamide, vinyl acetate, butadiene, ethylene, propylene, and styrene.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of inhibiting polymerization of methacrylic acid, comprising: adding an effective amount of a polymerization inhibitor composition to a fluid comprising the methacrylic acid, wherein the polymerization inhibitor composition comprises an effective amount of 4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidinol and an effective amount of N-(dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine; and inhibiting polymerization of the methacrylic acid. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of the 4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidinol and the effective amount of the N-(dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine is from about 1 ppm to about 2,000 ppm by weight of monomer. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymerization inhibitor composition is added continuously or intermittently to the fluid.
