Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
Expandable styrene polymers containing a foaming agent and from about 0.05 to 1% by weight of the styrene polymer of brominated oligomers of butadiene or styrene, brominated phosphoric acid esters, nuclear brominated phenyl alkyl ethers, pentabromo monochlorocyclohexane or 1,3,4-tribromo-4-phenylbutanone-(2) and additionally containing from 0.0001 to 1.0% by weight of the styrene polymer, of a styrene-soluble amine free from hydroxyl groups, said amine having the formula NR 1 R 2 R 3 , wherein R 1 is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radical of from 4 to 20 carbon atoms, R 2 is hydrogen or an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radical of from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, and R 3 is hydrogen or an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon of from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, with the proviso, that when R 2 and R 3 are both hydrogen, then R 1 has from 6 to 20 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
Expandable styrene polymers containing a foaming agent and from about 0.05 to 1% by weight of the styrene polymer of brominated oligomers of butadiene or styrene, brominated phosphoric acid esters, nuclear brominated phenyl alkyl ethers, pentabromo monochlorocyclohexane or 1,3,4-tribromo-4-phenylbutanone-(2) and additionally containing from 0.0001 to 1.0% by weight of the styrene polymer, of a styrene-soluble amine free from hydroxyl groups, said amine having the formula NR 1 R 2 R 3 , wherein R 1 is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radical of from 4 to 20 carbon atoms, R 2 is hydrogen or an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radical of from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, and R 3 is hydrogen or an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon of from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, with the proviso, that when R 2 and R 3 are both hydrogen, then R 1 has from 6 to 20 carbon atoms.
