Abstract:
Verfahren zur Herstellung von perlförmigen expandierbaren Styrolpolymerisaten durch Polymerisation von Styrol, gegebenenfalls unter Mitverwendung weiterer Comonomerer, in wäßriger Suspension in Gegenwart von Suspensionsstabilisatoren und üblicher styrollöslicher Polymerisationskatalysatoren und unter Zusatz eines Treibmittels und 0,01 bis 1 Gew.% eines Polyolefins, welches 1 bis 20 Gew.% Carboxylgruppen enthält.
Abstract:
Expandable polystyrene contains up to 40 wt.% recycled polystyrene. It is obtd. by dissolving the recycled material in styrene monomer and polymerising this soln. in aq. suspension, with addn. of finely-divided polyethylene wax (I) and/or a mol.wt. regulator (II) during polymerisation. Pref. the material is treated with 0.05-1.0 wt.% (I) and/or 10-5000 ppm (II). (I) has a Mn of 2000-6000. (II) is dimerised alpha -methylstyrene.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a continuous process for preparing expandible styrene polymers by polymerizing styrene in the presence of expanding agents in three stages: a) preparing a solution of polystyrene in styrene; b) dispersing the solution in an aqueous phase; and c) continuously polymerizing out the prepolymer in an aqueous suspension.
