Increased polymerization reactor output by using a specific initiator system

The invention pertains to a process to polymerize one or more monomers wherein at most 90% w/w of a safely useable amount of a first initiator is used and a second initiator is dosed at least after the start of the polymerization, in an amount such that essentially the full cooling capacity of the p...

Summary:The invention pertains to a process to polymerize one or more monomers wherein at most 90% w/w of a safely useable amount of a first initiator is used and a second initiator is dosed at least after the start of the polymerization, in an amount such that essentially the full cooling capacity of the polymerization reactor is used, resulting in a cost efficient process to make polymers, particularly polymers comprising polymerized vinyl chloride.
