Description
Process for the manufacture of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers
The present invention generally relates to a process for the manufacture of a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN copolymer) and in particular an SAN copolymer comprising a level of acrylonitrile (AN) of 40% by weight or more and preferably of 45% by weight or more and generally of 45 to 50% by weight.
SAN copolymers are among the most widely used thermoplastic materials because of their excellent resistance to solvents and their excellent tensile strength, for example in comparison with polystyrene. Thus, SAN copolymers are widely employed, alone or in the form of alloys with other polymers and copolymers, in the domestic appliance industry, packaging, electronics and the automobile industry.
SAN copolymers are conventionally manufactured by suspension copolymerization in the following way:
The reactor is initially charged with all the water and acrylonitrile, which is the least reactive monomer, and a portion of the styrene, which is the most reactive monomer. The temperature of the reaction mixture is then increased with stirring to 120°C and, 30 minutes after having reached this temperature, the remainder of the styrene is added to the reactor with a constant rate of introduction. After the addition of the styrene, the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased to 140°C, this stage generally being known as "cooking stage". This cooking stage generally has a duration of the order of 3 to 3 hours 45 minutes for the SAN suspension. After degassing, the SAN copolymer is recovered conventionally by centrifuging, in order to separate the pearls from the aqueous liquid, and drying on a fluidized bed.
The conventional process gives good results for the manufacture of SAN copolymers with a low level of acrylonitrile but, for levels of acrylonitrile > 30% by
weight, the copolymers obtained result in moulded products having a high yellow index.
Moreover, it is known that the chemical resistance of SAN copolymers is mainly due to the presence of acrylonitrile units, this resistance increasing with the increase in the level of acrylonitrile in the copolymer.
Consequently, it would be desirable to have available a process for the manufacture of SAN copolymers which makes it possible to obtain copolymers resulting in moulded articles with a low yellow index, in particular for high levels of acrylonitrile of 40% by weight of more and preferably of 45% by weight or more . It has now been found, according to the invention, that it is possible to manufacture a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, in particular a copolymer which has a high level of acrylonitrile units and which results in moulded articles exhibiting a low yellow index, by exerting precise control over the profile for addition of the styrene during the polymerization reaction and over the temperature profile .
According to the invention, the process comprises the following stages:
(a) introducing, into a reactor, a reaction mixture comprising all the water, acrylonitrile, initiator or initiators, chain-transfer agent or agents and suspending agent or agents and optionally a predetermined fraction of the total amount of the styrene;
(b) while stirring the reaction mixture, increasing the temperature of the reaction mixture to 60°C and then to 120°C; (c) when the temperature of the reaction mixture has reached 60°C or 120°C, adding the remaining amount of styrene, so as to keep constant the styrene monomer/acrylonitrile monomer ratio by weight in the
reaction mixture throughout the duration of the addition;
(d) raising the temperature of the reaction mixture to 140°C and maintaining at this temperature in order to bring the copolymerization to completion; and
(e) allowing the mixture to cool and recovering the SAN copolymer.
The addition of the remaining amount of styrene can be carried out continuously or noncontinuously . The duration of the addition of the remaining amount of styrene generally lasts from 400 to 500 minutes .
In order to keep constant the styrene monomer/acrylonitrile monomer ratio by weight in the reaction mixture and taking into account the kinetics of copolymerization, the addition of styrene comprises a first phase, during which the amount of styrene added is increased to a maximum, and then a second phase, during which the amount of styrene added is decreased until all the total amount of styrene has been added.
The first phase of the addition, during which the amount of styrene added is increased, generally lasts from 90 to 120 minutes from the beginning of the rise in temperature to 120°C, that is to say that the addition of styrene is a maximum 90 to 120 minutes after the beginning of the rise in temperature. This rise in temperature generally lasts of the order of 90 minutes .
Thus, when the styrene is added from the beginning of the rise, the increase in the amount of styrene added lasts 90 to 120 minutes and, when it is added after reaching the temperature of 120°C, this increase lasts of the order to 30 minutes.
The maximum for addition of the styrene generally corresponds to a total amount of styrene added of 10% by weight approximately of the total remaining amount of styrene.
The second phase of addition of the remaining amount of styrene, in which the amount [lacuna] styrene
added is gradually decreased, has a duration generally of 300 to 350 minutes.
The copolymerization is brought to completion by raising the temperature of the reaction mixture to 140°C and by maintaining the reaction mixture at this temperature for a sufficient duration.
The rise in temperature to 140°C can be carried out after the complete addition of the remaining amount of styrene or slightly before the end of this addition. The duration of heating at 140°C, including the rise in temperature, is generally of the order of 200 to 250 minutes.
The suspending agents, the initiators and the chain-transfer agents used in the process of the invention are conventional and they are used in the usual proportions .
Mention may be made, among suspending agents, of tricalcium phosphates, poly (vinyl alcohol) s and acrylic acid/alkyl acrylate copolymers. A recommended suspending agent is Ethapol®, which is a copolymer of acrylic acid and of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate sold by the Company CIRS .
Mention may be made, among radical initiators, of alkyl peroxides, such as di-t-butyl peroxide (DTBP), t-butyl cumyl peroxide (BCUP) and 2, 5-dimethyl-2, 5- di ( tert-butylperoxy) hexane .
Mention may be made among chain-transfer agents, of n- (Cβ-Ciδ) alkyl mercaptans, such as n-tert- decyl [sic] mercaptan (TTDM) . The continuation of the description refers to the appended figures, which respectively represent:
Figure 1 - temperature profile and profile for the continuous addition of styrene as a function of the time of an implementation of the process of the invention; and
Figure 2 - temperature profile and profile for the noncontinuous addition of styrene as a function of the time of another implementation of the process of the invention.

The initial reaction mixture is brought to a temperature of 120°C. Once the temperature of 120°C has been reached (time to) , the addition of the remaining 50 parts of styrene is begun.
During the first phase of the addition (to to tm) , which lasts 60 minutes, the flow rate for introduction of the styrene was continuously increased, so as to keep constant the styrene monomer/acrylonitrile monomer ratio of the reaction mixture. The maximum flow rate at time tm is 14.81 parts/hour.
At this point tm, the second phase of the addition of remaining styrene was initiated by decreasing the feed flow rate in order to still keep constant the styrene monomer/acrylonitrile monomer ratio in the reaction mixture.
The total duration of the addition of the styrene is 405 minutes. Shortly before the end of the addition, the temperature of the reaction mixture was raised in order to reach the temperature of 140°C at
