About this document
Temperature Effects on EVA Gel Formation by RUTH ALLYSON QUINTANA CABADA is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses how reaction temperature influences the generation of gels during the production of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) in a tubular reactor. Gels form due to unintended crosslinking that increases polymer molecular weight. Lower temperatures promote fouling inside the reactor tubes, increasing polymer residence time and allowing more crosslinking. The study found that raising the average reaction temperature by 10°C helped reduce gel formation by lowering viscosity and decreasing residence
