Abstract
Abstract Thermoplastic molding compositions based on styrene polymers contain, as a flameproofing agent, an organic bromine compound of the general formula <IMAGE> where X is a hydrocarbon radical and n is 0 or 1. The compositions may be used for the manufacture of self-extinguishing moldings, e.g. foams.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
49 words
A thermoplastic molding composition comprising a styrene homopolymer or a styrene copolymer containing a flameproofing amount of an organic bromine compound of the general formula ##STR5## where X is a divalent aliphatic aromatic, cycloaliphatic or araliphatic radical of up to 12 carbon atoms and n is 0 or 1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
49 words
A thermoplastic molding composition comprising a styrene homopolymer or a styrene copolymer containing a flameproofing amount of an organic bromine compound of the general formula ##STR5## where X is a divalent aliphatic aromatic, cycloaliphatic or araliphatic radical of up to 12 carbon atoms and n is 0 or 1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A molding composition as claimed in claim 1, which contains such amounts of the bromine compound that the bromine content of the molding composition is from 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the molding composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A molding composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bromine compound is 2,5-(tribromomethyl)-1,3,5-thiadiazole.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A molding composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the styrene copolymer contains at least 50% by weight of styrene as polymerized units.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A molding composition as claimed in claim 1, which contains from 3 to 10% by weight, based on the styrene homopolymer or copolymer, of a liquid or gaseous organic blowing agent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
A molding composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the blowing agent is an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon or a halohydrocarbon.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
A molding composition as claimed in claim 1, which is in the form of particles of diameter from 0.1 to 6 mm.
