Making the process of General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS)

The process used is "Bulk Continuous polymerisation". The main raw materials Styrene Monomer, in the pump continuously together with the raw materials adjuvant into the reactor first.

The materials used, which include:

  • Initiator
  • Lubricant
  • And others.
In the first reactor of this material heated, so that the initiation process polimerisasi resumed with the conversion process of propagation, and at the pump to a second reactor.
This is the second reactor "Tower reactor", where the propagation process and ended with the termination after the conversion is almost perfect. And the third reactor, the remnants monomer will be drawn out with a vacuum system.
After the polymer at the pump will be going out through a filter, cooled and cut (Pelletizing) in the form of grain-grain small (Granule).
