Abstract:
The invention relates to foamable particulate self-extinguishing styrene polymers which, on account of their low content of oxyalkylation product of ammonia or amine, are suitable for making foam articles exhibiting good fusion and good dimensional stability, and to a process for their production.
Abstract:
Particulate, expandable styrene polymers containing a flame-proofing organic halo compound as expanding agent and also a mixture of from 2.5 to 30% by weight of a hydrocarbon of from 3 to 6 carbon atoms and from 97.5 to 70% by weight of monofluorotrichloromethane, based on the total weight of said mixture serving as expanding agent, show good processability and exhibit self-extinguishing properties even during processing.
