Abstract:
1. A method for finishing an aqueous polymer dispersion prepared by polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers by means of radically initiated polymerization in an aqueous medium in a polymerization reactor, comprising transferring a resultant aqueous polymer dispersion from the polymerization reactor into at least one storage vessel, wherein the aqueous polymer dispersion from the polymerization reactor, prior to entry into the storage vessel, a) is first cooled using one or more heat exchangers to a temperature of ≦45° C., and b) subsequently one or more additives are metered into the aqueous polymer dispersion between the heat exchanger and storage vessel, the aqueous polymer dispersion not being transferred into any finishing vessel before it is transferred into a storage vessel.
