use of trioxepanes in processes for the manufacture of high solids acrylic, styrenic and ldpe resins.

摘要

The invention relates to a polymerisation process wherein at least one initiator is selected from trioxepan compounds of formula I, with R1-3 being independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl groups. Preferably, R1 and R3 are selected from lower alkyl groups, such as methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl, while R2 is preferably selected from methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, isobutyl, amyl, isoamyl, cyclohexyl, CH3C(O)CH2-, C2H5OC(O)CH2-, HOC(CH3)2CH2-, and [...].
