Participants

Reaction Steps

The remainder of the sodium vinyl sulphonate, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride and sodium persulphate was then added continuously over a period of 4 hours while maintaining a temperature of 73°-75° C. When the additions had been completed, the reaction contents were taken to 80° C. and held at that temperature for 30 minutes. They were then cooled to below 30° C. and removed to another sealed vessel and potassium hydroxide (25% aq. solution 10 g) and formalin (5.7 g) were added with stirring.
