Abstract
Expandable styrene polymers comprising polymeric brominated flame-retardant, wherein the polymeric brominated flame-retardant comprises at least one brominated polybutadiene block having a bromination degree between 33 and 75%, based on the double bonds in the polybutadiene block before bromination, a process for producing such expandable styrene polymers by suspension polymerization and particulate foam moldings made therefrom.

-12. (canceled)
An expandable styrene polymers comprising polymeric brominated flame-retardants, wherein the polymeric brominated flame-retardant comprises 50 to 85 wt.-% of brominated polybutadiene blocks and the weight average molecular weight Mw of the polymeric brominated flame-retardant is in the range from 80.000 to 180.000 g/mol, determined Gel Permeation Chromatography according to ISO 16014-3:
- 2012 before bromination and the polymeric brominated flame-retardant has a total bromine content in the range from 40 to 60 wt.-%, determined by elemental analysis, and comprises at least one brominated polybutadiene block having a bromination degree, determined by 1H-NMR spectroscopy, between 59 and 75%, based on the double bonds in the polybutadiene block before bromination.
