background
[7]
Vinyl chloride-based polymer is a polymer containing 50% by weight or more of repeating units derived from vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). is diverse In addition, it can provide a molded article having excellent physical and chemical properties, such as mechanical strength, weather resistance, chemical resistance, and the like, and thus is widely used in various fields.
[8]
On the other hand, vinyl chloride-based resin is the most widely used general-purpose resin worldwide as a living and industrial material. In general, straight vinyl chloride-based resin is produced by suspension polymerization with powder particles with a size of about 100 to 200 μm, The paste vinyl chloride-based resin is produced by emulsion polymerization with powder particles having a size of about 0.1 to 2 μm.
[9]
In general, the paste vinyl chloride-based resin is dried by spray-drying the latex obtained by emulsion polymerization to form final resin particles, and the particles are dispersed in a solvent or plasticizer and coated (reverse roll-coating, knife coating, screen coating, Through processes such as spray coating), gravure and csreen printing, rotation casting, shell casting and dipping, flooring, wallpaper, tarpaulin, raincoats, gloves, automobile underbody It is applied to products such as coatings and carpet tiles.
[10]
As such, since the paste vinyl chloride-based resin is a general-purpose plastic widely used in various fields, studies have been conducted to increase the productivity of the paste vinyl chloride-based resin. For example, a redox polymerization (redox polymerization) method has been proposed as one of methods for increasing productivity in manufacturing a paste vinyl chloride-based resin. Redox polymerization was able to improve productivity by effectively shortening the reaction time by using a medium that oxidizes and/or reduces metal ions and metals. By activating the reaction, it is possible to have a more uniform heat removal distribution.
[11]
However, in the conventional redox polymerization, the content of metal ions formed from the transition metal catalyst must be sufficiently large in order to sufficiently improve the reactivity, and the input of an oxidizing agent and/or a reducing agent to regenerate the metal ions is absolutely necessary, but the oxidizing agent and/or Alternatively, when a certain amount or more of the reducing agent is added, there is a problem in that the foaming and viscosity properties of the produced vinyl chloride-based resin are lowered.
[12]
Therefore, there is a need for a composition and polymerization method for preparing a vinyl chloride-based polymer capable of simultaneously improving the reactivity while maintaining the foaming and viscosity properties of the prepared vinyl chloride-based resin at an excellent level.

1. A composition for preparing a vinyl chloride-based polymer
[36]
[37]
One embodiment of the present invention includes a reducing agent in an amount of 0 to 150 ppm based on the weight of a vinyl chloride-based monomer, a transition metal catalyst, a pH adjuster consisting of a carbonate-based metal salt, and a vinyl chloride-based monomer, wherein the transition metal catalyst is a vinyl chloride-based catalyst It provides a composition for preparing a vinyl chloride-based polymer comprising 0.01 to 3.0 ppm based on the weight of the monomer.
[38]
In general, a composition for preparing a polymer in a redox polymerization system that can be applied when preparing a vinyl chloride-based polymer includes a vinyl chloride-based monomer, a transition metal catalyst, a pH adjuster, an oxidizing agent and/or a reducing agent. At this time, when a strong base material such as sodium hydroxide, which is mainly used as a pH adjuster, has a very high pH and there is no carbonate ion, if an excessive amount is added for optimum pH control, the polyvinyl chloride polymer for plastisol processing due to aggregation phenomenon Formation may be difficult, and when foaming is prescribed through plastisol processing, problems such as over-foaming may occur, and a large amount of volatile organic compounds may be generated. In addition, when a small amount of a strong base material is added to stabilize the prepared polymer latex and to maintain viscosity and foaming properties, it may not help improve reactivity, resulting in poor productivity. In addition, when a material without carbonate ions is used as a pH adjuster, metal ions formed from transition metals cannot be oxidized and/or reduced, so in order to sustain the redox polymerization system, an oxidizing agent and/or reducing agent must be included. there is a problem.
[39]
At this time, the oxidizing agent and/or reducing agent mainly used in the vinyl chloride-based polymerization process may be a weak acid material, and if an excessive amount of the weak acid material as described above is added in an amount to sufficiently oxidize or reduce metal ions, the pH during polymerization Since polymerization is carried out under acidic conditions by lowering In addition, when the polymer is manufactured under acidic conditions, there may be a problem in that the heat resistance of the polymer itself is very deteriorated as the number of defect sites in the manufactured polymer increases.
[40]
In addition, when an acidic material such as potassium phosphate is applied as a pH adjusting agent, the pH in the polymerization reaction is further lowered, so that polymerization can be performed under acidic conditions. can occur
[41]
Therefore, it is preferable to use a carbonate-based metal salt as a pH adjusting agent in order to realize both the effects of improving the viscosity and foaming properties of the prepared polymer and plastisol and increasing the polymerization productivity.
[42]
Since the pH adjuster of the carbonate-based metal salt contains carbonate ions, it does not contain or may contain a trace amount of an acidic reducing agent that is essentially included in the conventional composition for preparing a vinyl chloride-based polymer, and the reduction reaction with the metal ion of the transition metal catalyst is As it is smoothly performed, the content of the transition metal catalyst can be remarkably reduced, and accordingly, it is possible to prevent deterioration of physical properties such as viscosity increase and deterioration of foam color, which may occur by including a large amount of transition metal catalyst. In addition, the CO 3 - radical of the carbonate ion generated by the reduction reaction of the metal ion decomposes the polymerization initiator, thereby further improving the activity of the polymerization initiator and donating electrons to the structurally defective part of the produced vinyl chloride polymer. Since it is effective in improving the structural defects of the polymer, it is possible to improve the reactivity and improve the foaming properties and viscosity properties of the plastisol at the same time.
[43]
[44]
The composition for preparing a vinyl chloride-based polymer according to an embodiment of the present invention does not contain a reducing agent or may contain 150 ppm or less based on the weight of the vinyl chloride-based monomer, and preferably does not include a reducing agent. In the present invention, when the reducing agent is included in excess of 150 ppm, as both the carbonate-based metal salt and the excess reducing agent, which are the pH regulators, contribute to the reduction reaction, the polymerization reactivity runs away, resulting in a rapid rise in the reaction temperature and reaction pressure. It is difficult to control, and accordingly, a problem that a polymer having required physical properties cannot be obtained may occur, and as a reducing agent component remains in the polymer to be prepared, there may be a problem that the foaming color of the plastisol is deteriorated.
[45]
In addition, the composition for preparing a vinyl chloride-based polymer according to an embodiment of the present invention can sufficiently improve the reactivity by using a carbonate-based metal salt even if the oxidizing agent, which is an auxiliary raw material for improving the reactivity, is not included, and when an oxidizing agent is included, the reducing agent is used as described above. Since the same problem may occur, it is preferable not to contain a reducing agent as well as an oxidizing agent capable of oxidizing metal ions in order to stabilize the polymerization reaction and prevent deterioration of the viscosity and foaming properties of the plastisol.
[46]
[47]
The transition metal catalyst according to an embodiment of the present invention may contain 0.01 to 3.0 ppm based on the weight of the vinyl chloride monomer, preferably 0.01 to 1.2 ppm, and more preferably 0.01 to 0.5 ppm. have. The transition metal catalyst is a material that can improve the reactivity by promoting the activity of the initiator. If the content of the transition metal catalyst is high, the reactivity can be improved only with a relatively small amount of the initiator, but the transition metal catalyst is included in excess of 3.0 ppm. In this case, it is difficult to control the initial reactivity of polymerization, so the number of initially formed polymer particles may greatly increase, which may cause a problem in that the viscosity of the polymer and plastisol to be prepared increases significantly, and the transition metal catalyst component remaining in the polymer This may cause a problem in that the foam color of the polymer and plastisol is inferior.
[48]
In addition, in the present invention, by using a pH adjuster made of a carbonate-based metal salt, even when a small amount of the transition metal catalyst is used, the reactivity can be improved to an excellent level.
[49]
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the carbonate-based metal salt is not limited as long as it contains a carbonate ion (CO 3 2- ), but preferably sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ), sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO 3 ) in terms of reactivity improvement. ), magnesium carbonate (MgCO 3 ), calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) and potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3 ) may include at least one selected from the group consisting of, more preferably sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate or mixtures thereof.
[50]
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the carbonate-based metal salt may be included in an amount of 50 to 1200 ppm based on the total weight of the vinyl chloride monomer, preferably 100 to 1000 ppm, even more preferably 150 to 1000 Amounts in ppm may be included. When the carbonate-based metal salt is included in the above numerical range, the optimum pH can be adjusted during polymerization, and the reduction reaction with the transition metal catalyst can be performed at an appropriate level, so that the polymerization productivity is improved, and the polymer and plastics produced Viscosity properties and foaming color of the sol can be improved to an excellent level.
[51]
[52]
The transition metal catalyst according to an embodiment of the present invention is not limited as long as it is a transition metal compound applied to the preparation of a vinyl chloride-based polymer, and specifically, may include copper sulfate, iron sulfate, or a mixture thereof. The copper sulfate may be copper(I) sulfate (Cu 2 SO 4 ), copper(II) sulfate (CuSO 4 ), or a mixture thereof, and the iron sulfate is iron(II) sulfate (FeSO 4 ), iron(III) sulfate ( Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ) or a mixture thereof.
[53]
[54]
The vinyl chloride-based polymer prepared by using the composition for preparing a vinyl chloride-based polymer according to an embodiment of the present invention is a vinyl chloride monomer as a main component as well as a polymer made of pure vinyl chloride monomer, and is copolymerizable with the vinyl chloride monomer. It may be a copolymer with a system monomer. In this case, when the vinyl chloride-based polymer is a copolymer of a vinyl chloride monomer and a vinyl-based monomer, 50% or more of vinyl chloride may be contained in the copolymer.
[55]
Accordingly, the vinyl chloride-based monomer usable according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a single vinyl chloride material; Alternatively, it may be a mixture of vinyl chloride and a vinyl-based monomer copolymerizable with the vinyl chloride.

[231]
As shown in Table 1 above, Examples 1 to 9 in which the redox polymerization system was applied using a carbonate-based metal salt as a pH adjuster according to an embodiment of the present invention, but the contents of the transition metal catalyst and the reducing agent were controlled. It can be confirmed that the productivity is improved by improving the reactivity while the viscosity and foaming properties of the plastisol are greatly improved compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 8, which is out of the range, and the loss of volatilization of the polymer is also significantly lower. .
[232]
Specifically, in Comparative Example 1, which is different in that it does not contain a carbonate-based metal salt as a pH adjuster under the same conditions as in Examples 1, 4 and 5, aggregation of the latex occurred during polymerization, so that a normal polymer latex could not be obtained, and the latex In Comparative Example 2, in which the content of the pH adjuster was lowered than in Comparative Example 1 to prevent aggregation of
[233]
In addition, although a carbonate-based metal salt was used as a pH adjuster, in Comparative Example 3, in which the content of the transition metal catalyst was added in excess of 3.0 ppm, a runaway reaction occurred and the reaction had to be terminated, and the prepared polymer plastisol It can be seen that both the viscosity and foaming properties of Examples 1 to 9 are lowered compared to Examples 1 to 9, but a carbonate-based metal salt was used as a pH adjuster, but Comparative Example 4 used in combination with sodium hydroxide rather than a carbonate-based metal salt was carbonate under the same conditions. It can be seen that, unlike Example 3 in which only the metal salt is used, there is no effect of improving the reactivity, and there is almost no effect of reducing the amount of volatilization.
[234]
In addition, it can be seen that Comparative Examples 5 to 8, in which the reducing agent was added in excess, decreased the viscosity and foaming properties of the plastisol, or had no effect of improving the reactivity, and in particular Comparative Examples 7 and 8 that did not include a carbonate-based metal salt It can be confirmed that the content of volatile organic compounds in the polymer is high as the silver volatilization loss also has a high value.
[235]
As described above, it can be confirmed that the viscosity and foaming properties of the plastisol can be improved by controlling the contents of the transition metal catalyst and the reducing agent while using the pH adjusting agent made of the carbonate-based metal salt, and the reactivity can be improved at the same time.
