Application 10/850,019
285ºC (Example 5) and 315ºC (Example 6) during continuous
mixing (Abstract).
3) Villalobos and Campbell ‘144 disclose continuous
polymerization processes conducted at a high temperature (160 to
270ºC) wherein a reactor is charged with at least one epoxy-
functional acrylic monomer and a non-functional acrylate
monomer (Villalobos, claims 1 and 2; Campbell ‘144, claims 1
and 10).
4) Campbell ‘590 discloses a high temperature (175 to 345ºC)
continuous polymerization process wherein a reactor is charged
with at least one radically polymerizable group such as ethyl
acrylate and methyl acrylate. (Campbell ‘590, 3:13-14, 4:25-28,
and 6:16).
5) Brand discloses a high temperature (180 to 270ºC)
continuous polymerization process wherein a reactor is charged
with an acrylic monomer, e.g., methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate.
(Brand, 5:6-7).
6) Paquet discloses a coating composition prepared by
polymerizing a monomer mixture that includes one or more non-
functional acrylate monomers at a temperature of 120 to 300ºC.
(Paquet, Abstract and [0040]).
