Abstract

Linear phosphonitrilic chloride polymers are produced from phosphonitrilic chloride oligomers by means of a two-stage process. In the first stage a mixture of phosphonitrilic chloride oligomers enriched in linear oligomer is heated with at least a stoichiometric amount (and preferably an excess) of ammonia or ammonium chloride while concurrently removing hydrogen chloride to produce an intermediate reaction product. In the second stage the molecular weight of the reaction product is increased by heating the product to a higher temperature than the average temperature used in the first stage. Cyclic phosphonitrilic chloride oligomer may be present in the initial oligomer. Preferably, cyclic phosphonitrilic chloride oligomer is recovered from the reaction mixture after the start of the second stage. Most preferably it is recovered after completion of the second stage. At least a portion of the recovered cyclic oligomer may be used in a subsequent first stage reaction.
