VCM

Noun

Meaning

VCM (plural VCMs)

Initialism of vinyl chloride monomer.

Examples

After the polymer has grown by about 10x, the short polymer precipitates inside the droplet of VCM, and polymerization continues with the precipitated, solvent-swollen particles. Source: Internet

As the volume is reduced during the reaction (PVC is denser than VCM), water is continually added to the mixture to maintain the suspension. Source: Internet

Once the reaction has run its course, the resulting PVC slurry is degassed and stripped to remove excess VCM, which is recycled. Source: Internet

Technology for removal of VCM from products has become stringent, commensurate with the associated regulations. Source: Internet

The reaction vessel is pressure tight to contain the VCM. Source: Internet

VCM and water are introduced into the reactor and a polymerization initiator, along with other additives. Source: Internet
