Abstract

Poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) is one of the highest tonnage polymers produced on a world-wide scale. From the beginning of production over 40 years ago, growth of PVC sales into a wide variety of applications has expanded rapidly, reaching an annual world consumption of 1.2 x 107 tes per annum in 1980 (1). PVC is prepared by four principal polymerisation processes: bulk or mass, suspension, microsuspension and emulsion. In addition PVC may also be prepared by solution or dispersion polymerisation, but these remain low tonnage specialised products.
