Abstract
Abstract Fine particulate expandable styrene polymers suitable for the production of molded bodies with improved minimum mold dwell times, containing 0.01 to 2.0% by weight, referred to the polystyrene or the total of the polymerized monomers, of polyoctenamer having I values from about 10 to 400 ml/g and trans octylene contents from about 20 to 90%.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
In the method for producing particulate molding compositions for the production of foamed articles by polymerizing styrene monomer in aqueous suspension under intensive mechanical stirring in the presence of an expanding agent and in the presence of water-insoluble high molecular weight compound which is oluble in the styrene monomer and forms a discontinuous phase with the polymer produced, the improvement comprising as said high molecular weight compound a polyoctenamer having a concentration of 0.01 to 2.0 percent by weight based on the styrene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
