Emulsion Polymerisation Set-Up Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Emulsion Polymerisation Set-Up

Product Code : SCL-CLE-13408

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Emulsion Polymerisation Set-Up (Product ID: 13408) as part of its chemistry lab equipment range. It is a stirred, jacketed reactor for batch emulsion polymerisation of an unsaturated monomer such as styrene.

Quick Answer

In emulsion polymerisation the oil-soluble monomer is dispersed in water as an oil-in-water emulsion held stable by an emulsifier, while the initiator dissolves in the water phase. The stainless steel reactor holds about 1.5–2 litres and is stirred by a two-paddle stainless steel impeller on a DC motor with a thyristor-controlled speed drive. Nitrogen, metered on a rotameter and passed through a de-oxygenation column, keeps oxygen out of the reaction, and five RTD PT-100 sensors log temperatures. Heat comes from an insulated stainless steel hot water tank with a nichrome heater and a polypropylene magnetic pump rated to 80°C. The initiator reservoir capacity is given without a unit and the nitrogen supply is not listed, so please confirm both at quotation.

Where This Is Used

It is used in polymer and reaction engineering labs to follow conversion of monomer to latex over time. See also the Condensation Polymerisation Set-Up (Product ID: 13409). Styrene is flammable and its vapour is harmful: work in a fume hood or well-ventilated area with gloves and eye protection, away from open flames.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which monomer is it designed for?
An unsaturated monomer such as styrene.

Why is nitrogen used?
To purge dissolved oxygen, which would inhibit free-radical polymerisation.

How is the temperature monitored?
With five RTD PT-100 sensors.
