Abstract

Abstract A flameproof thermoplastic molding material based on a styrene polymer and containing from 0.05 to 5 percent by weight of an organic bromine compound as the flameproofing agent, with or without a blowing agent, wherein the bromine compound contains a heterocyclic ring, comprising the group ##STR1## IN ITS MOLECULE, AND IS HEAT-STABLE UP TO AT LEAST 150° C. The preferred bromine compound has the formula ##STR2## The molding materials may be used for the manufacture of self-extinguishing moldings, eg. foam moldings.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 118 words
A flameproof thermoplastic molding material based on a styrene polymer and containing from 0.05 to 5 percent by weight of an organic bromine compound as the flameproofing agent, with or without a blowing agent, wherein the bromine compound conforms to the following requirements: (a) the compound contains in its molecule at least one six membered heterocyclic ring with at least one nitrogen as a hetero-atom, (b) the molecule contains at least one ##STR6## group, where --N═C-- is a part of the heterocyclic ring, (c) the compound is sufficiently heat-stable at 150° C. that the weight loss on heating for one hour at this temperature is less than 1%, and (d) the compound is not a derivative of 1,3,4-thiadiazole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 118 words
A flameproof thermoplastic molding material based on a styrene polymer and containing from 0.05 to 5 percent by weight of an organic bromine compound as the flameproofing agent, with or without a blowing agent, wherein the bromine compound conforms to the following requirements: (a) the compound contains in its molecule at least one six membered heterocyclic ring with at least one nitrogen as a hetero-atom, (b) the molecule contains at least one ##STR6## group, where --N═C-- is a part of the heterocyclic ring, (c) the compound is sufficiently heat-stable at 150° C. that the weight loss on heating for one hour at this temperature is less than 1%, and (d) the compound is not a derivative of 1,3,4-thiadiazole.
