    Abstract: Bead-formed expandable styrene polymers are obtained by suspension polymerisation of styrene with addition of from 1 to 10% by weight of C3- to C7-hydrocarbons and/or carbon dioxide as blowing agent and optionally conventional additives, where the suspension stabiliser used is a mixture of magnesium pyrophosphate, a sulphonate group-containing extender and an alkali or alkaline-earth metal carboxylate, magnesium pyrophosphate being prepared directly before the polymerisation by combining an aqueous solution with an alkali metal pyrophosphate with at least the stoichiometrically necessary amount of a magnesium salt.
