Fritz Klatte

Fritz Klatte was a German chemist and the discoverer of polyvinyl acetate, with German patent for its preparation from acetylene gas.
Polyvinyl chloride was discovered by French physicist Henri [Victor Regnault], and German physicist Eugen Baumann. Klatte designed the production process, although never successfully commercialised it. Klatte is sometimes incorrectly attributed to be the discoverer or inventor of PVC. In 1912/13, together with the chemists Emil Zacharias and Adolf Rollett, he invented the production process for polyvinyl chloride
