SUBJECT Residual Vinyl Chloride Content of Suspension/Non-Solvent Vinyl Resins
\J C
r
AX-"'
Attached in Tables I-VI is the residual vinyl chloride monomer content of the suspension/non-solvent vinyl resins blends produced during the month of May. The QSAN-7/QSQH-7 blends produced during the latter part of the month reflect the production unit's attempt to reduce the VCM content to the lowest achievable concentration with present equipment and technology. Complete results of this
study will be made in a separate report. The data Indicate the continued dif
ficulty in maintaining a VCM content of <1000 ppty.ln resins having a glassy* low porosity particle character, i.e., QSAE, QSAH-7, QSQF-7 and VSKK-10. The
higher porosity of the QSQH-7 PVC-ethylene copolymer, as compared to QSAH-7, results in a much lower VCM content.
