Claims
- 1. A method for removing polymer scale adhering to the inner surface of a polymerization vessel, which method comprises polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer in an aqueous medium, discharging the resulting polymer of vinyl chloride together with the aqueous medium from the polymerization vessel, thereafter placing in the vessel both a reaction product and an organic liquid, and washing the inner surface of the vessel with the organic liquid solution of the said reaction product, wherein the said reaction product is obtained by heating and reacting an amine compound with an acrylic compound at a temperature higher than 50.degree. C., the said amine compound being selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic amine compound, alicyclic amine compound and aromatic amine compound having therein one or more aminogroup(s) or iminogroup(s), the said acrylic compound being selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid ester, methacrylic acid ester and acryl amide, and said organic liquid can dissolve or swell the polymer of vinyl chloride.
- 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the acrylic compound is methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, dimethylaminoethyl acrylate, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate or dimethyl acrylamide.
