Polymerisation is the process by which monomer molecules react together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains or three-dimensional networks.
Desolvation is the removal of volatiles from a solid. It is one of the most important operations in the manufacture of polymers.
a) We need a long shaft extruder of 60-76 L/D, even using a double stage extruder, to obtain sufficient reaction residence time and an adequate debinding zone.
b) 20-40% of the monomer molecules will be sucked out by a strong vacuum system with heat exchanger and collection tank.
c) Oil is heated for high precision temperature control.
