1. In the process for the production of low molecular weight water soluble polymers of acrylic or methacrylic acid by polymerizing acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with up to 10% by weight of a comonomer selected from the group consisting of esters of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, monoesters or diesters of fumaric acid, monoesters or diesters of maleic acid, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, acrylamide and methacrylamide, in a solvent selected from the group consisting of isopropanol and mixtures of isopropanol and water containing at least 40% by weight of isopropanol, in the presence of polymerization initiators, the improvement comprising carrying out the polymerization at a temperature of from 120°

  • to 200°

    C. under a pressure of at least about 2 bars.
