weight per hundered monomer of di tert butyl peroxide has been found useful once the reaction product exits the ctr it is devolatilized to separate the molten acrylic resin which can be flaked or pelletized after cooling this then can be used to prepare dispersions a typical formula would be prepared as follows charge 1 is 201 52 g acrylic resin 102 16 g de ionized di water 4 99 g dowfax 2a1 and 5 17 g triton x 100 surfactant adjust to a ph of 8 71 with ca 3 g ammonium hydroxide charge 3 is 1 99 g ammonium persulfate and 5 30 g di water charge 5 is 0 70 g sodium ascorbate and 8 00 g di water at t 0 min t 23 u00b0 c apply a nitrogen blanket charge 1 and start heating note that the reactor is blanketed with nitrogen to quench any free radicals present nitrogen is not involved in the actual resin chemistry in any way at 183 min 84 u00b0 c charge 4 and 1 3 of 5 normally the above would be augmented with preservatives dyes pigments thixotropes perfumes wetting agents antifoams coalescing agents slip aids and the like prior to use examples 1 through 10 explore variations of the reaction parameters particularly pressure on the percent conversion one pass yield and the properties of coatings made from dispersions prepared from the acrylic resins produced by the ctr example 11 describes a preferred embodiment wherein the monomers are recycled and surprisingly form a product not only better than that had from virgin monomers with respect to gloss on white but also superior to the nearest commercial equivalent joncryl 678 joncryl 39 s properties.
