Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A METHOD OF MAKING EXPANDABLE POLYMERIC STYRENE PARTICLES COMPRISING POLMERIZING A STYRENE MONOMER IN AQUEOUS SUSPENSION BY HEATING SAID MONOMER IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST, CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF AT LEAST ONE LOW TEMPERATURE PEROXIDIC INITIATOR AND AT LEAST ONE HIGH TEMPERATURE PEROXIDIC INITIATOR, TO A TEMPERATURE AT WHICH SAID LOW TEMPERATURE INITIATOR SERVES AS THE PRINCIPAL INITIATOR, CONTINUING POLYMERIZATION AT LEAST UNTIL THE PARTICLE IDENTIY POINT IS REACHED, THEREAFTER ADDING A NORMALLY LIQUID HYDROCARBON BLOWING AGENT, RAISING THE TEMPERATURE TO THAT AT WHICH SAID HIGH TEMPERATURE INITIATOR SERVES AS THE PRINCIPAL INITIATOR, AND CONTINUING HEATING UNTIL POLYMERIZATION IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AS EVIDENCED BY THE PRESENCE OF LESS THAN 0.5% BY WEIGHT RESIDUAL MONOMER IN THE POLYMER PARTICLES.
