Scale-up Synthesis of Diallyl Phthalate Prepolymer
KCP (Kansas City Plant (KCP), Kansas City, MO (United States)), D. Carey, DOE · 1984
This project was initiated to develop processes for the synthesis of diallyl phthalate (DAP) prepolymer in the Bendix Chemical Polymer Facility. Thus far, five scale-up reactions have been carried out in a 100-gallon reactor and fourteen have been conducted in the 15-gallon resin kettle. The synthesis of diallyl isophthalate prepolymer (DAIPP) was also investigated; eight scale-up reactions of this prepolymer have been carried out. Aging studies on DAIPP were also conducted.
