Mechanism Increasing rates of emulsion PZN usually lead to higher MW

AdvantagesHeat readily dispersed low viscosity high MW obtainable

may be used directly as emulsion works on tacky polymers

DisadvantagesContamination by emulsifier and other ingredients chain

transfer agents often needed to control DP washing and drying necessary for bulk polymer

Mechanism Increasing rates of emulsion PZN usually lead to higher MW

AdvantagesHeat readily dispersed low viscosity high MW obtainable

may be used directly as emulsion works on tacky polymers

DisadvantagesContamination by emulsifier and other ingredients chain

transfer agents often needed to control DP washing and drying necessary for bulk polymer

Industrial applications
