Vinyl chloride-propylene

Chlorine cannot be stored economically or moved long distances. International movements of bulk chlorine are more or less limited to movements between Canada and the United States. In 1987, chlorine moved in the form of derivatives was 3.3 million metric tons or approximately 10% of total consumption (3). Exports of ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride monomer, poly(vinyl chloride), propylene oxide, and chlorinated solvents comprise the majority of world chlorine movement. Countries or areas with a chlorine surplus exported in the form of derivatives include Western Europe, Bra2il, USA, Saudi Arabia, and Canada. Countries with a chlorine deficit are Taiwan, Korea, Indonesia, Vene2uela, South Africa, Thailand and Japan (3). 

Most addition polymers are formed from polymerizations exhibiting chain-growth kinetics. Such processes include the typical polymerizations of the vast majority of vinyl monomers such as ethylene, styrene, vinyl chloride, propylene, methyl acrylate, and vinyl acetate. Furthermore, most condensation polymers are formed from systems exhibiting stepwise kinetics. Industrially, such systems include those used for the formation. pa of polyesters and polyamides. Thus, a large overlap exists between the terms... 

Examples of the influence of the nature of the substituent on the ease of polymerization are propylene and vinyl chloride. Propylene is much more difficult to polymerize than vinyl chloride. A possible explanation can be found in the fact that the polar nature of the chlorine-containing monomer accounts already for a partial shift of the w electrons of the double bond.

ESR spectroscopy has been applied to studies of unsaturation and other structural features in a wide range of homopolymers including polyethylene [101-110], polypropylene [111-121], polybutenes [115], polystyrene [122-124], PVC [125,126], polyvinylidene chloride [127], polymethylmethacrylate [128-137], polyethylene glycol polycarbonates [137-140], polyacrylic acid [136-139, 141, 142], polyphenylenes [143], polyphenylene oxides [143], polybutadiene [144], conjugated dienes [145,146], polyester resins [146], cellophane [143,147] and also to various copolymers including styrene grafted polypropylene [148], ethylene-acroline [149], butadiene-isobutylene [150], vinyl acetate copolymers [151] and vinyl chloride-propylene. 

If a company is in the business of making and selling products such as acetic acid, vinyl chloride, propylene oxide, or other chemicals and has plans to stay in business and to expand its facilities to serve growing markets, it at least must have economically competitive processes. Today this means being competitive with not only any new processes developed in the United States, but also with any new process technology developed in Western Europe, Japan, and Russia—for the chemical industry is a worldwide industry. This is readily apparent from the data in Tables 1.10, 1.11, and 1.12, which describe the sales for the largest chemical producers in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan, respectively. Further, the processes that are operative must be environmentally compatible—all toxic or carcinogenic by-products or waste must be contained and disposed of harmlessly. Even a relatively innocuous by-product such as salt must be disposed of so as not to intrude on the environment.
