氯乙烯的聚合。LaUROX W-40广泛用作用于在60℃和80℃之间的温度范围内的氯乙烯的微悬浮聚合的引发剂。在许多情况下,月桂酸W-40与更活跃的引发剂如过氧碳酸氢盐(例如伪催化剂16)组合以提高反应器效率。Reasons to use a water-based peroxide suspension instead of a solid or solvent-based peroxide are the following: enhanced safety, solvent free (no contamination of the VCM recycle stream), enhancement of PVC purity, easy to use (pumpable) in ‘closed reactor technology’, easy to dilute with water.
