This invention relates to a process comprising contacting an
polymerization reactor effluent with a fluorinated hydrocarbon and
thereafter recovering olefin polymer, where the fluorinated hydrocarbon
is present at 5 volume % to 99 volume % based upon the volume of the
effluent and the fluorinated hydrocarbon, and where the polymerization is
a continuous polymerization of at least 75 mole % of hydrocarbon
monomers, based upon the total moles of monomer present in the reactor.
