Embodiment 1

[0087] Will be made of 150 parts by weight of water, 0.2 parts of sodium pyrophosphate, 100 parts of styrene, 0.25 parts of tert-butyl peroxy 2-ethylhexanoate, 0.25 parts of tert-butyl perbenzoate and 1 part of calcined A mixture of coke 4023 sold by the company Asbury Graphite Mills Inc. (USA) with a mean diameter MT50% of about 5 μm and a BET of about 20 m was poured into a closed stirred vessel. 2 / g. The mixture was heated to 90°C with stirring.

[0088] After about 2 hours at 90° C., 4 parts of a 10% solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone were added. Still with stirring the mixture was heated to 100°C for a further 2 hours, 7 parts of a 70 / 30 n-pentane / isopentane mixture were added and the whole was heated to 125°C for a further 4 hours and then allowed to cool , discharge the batch of product.

[0089] The thus-produced expandable polymer pellets were subsequently collected and washed with deionized water containing 0.05% of a nonionic surfactant composed of fat condensed w...

Embodiment 2

[0098] Will be made of 150 parts by weight of water, 0.2 parts of sodium tricalcium phosphate, 100 parts of styrene, 0.25 parts of tert-butyl peroxy 2-ethylhexanoate, 0.25 parts of tert-butyl perbenzoate, 0.01 parts of A mixture of sodium metabisulfite and 2 parts of the coke used in Example 1 was poured into a closed stirring vessel. The mixture was heated to 90°C with stirring.

[0099] After about 2 hours at 90°C, the mixture was heated to 100°C and held for a further 2 hours, 7 parts of a 70 / 30 mixture of n-pentane and isopentane were added and the mixture was heated to 125°C for a further 4 hours , then cool and discharge.

[0100] The expandable polymer pellets thus obtained are processed as in Example 1, and a fraction with a diameter of 1-1.5 mm is separated off.

[0101] It was confirmed that this fraction accounted for 60%, the 0.5-1 mm fraction accounted for 25%, the 0.2-0.5 mm fraction accounted for 5%, and the 1.5-3 mm coarse fraction accounted for 10%.

The mixture was heated to 90°C with stirring.

[0106] After about 2 hours at 90°C, the mixture was heated to 100°C for a further 2 hours, 7 parts of a 70 / 30 n-pentane / isopentane mixture were added and the mixture was heated to 125°C for a further 4 hours , then cool and discharge.

[0107] The expandable polymer pellets thus obtained are processed as in Example 1, and a fraction with a diameter of 1-1.5 mm is separated off.

[0108] It was confirmed that this fraction accounted for 60%, the 0.5-1 mm fraction accounted for 25%, the 0.2-0.5 mm fraction accounted for 5%, and the 1.5-3 mm coarse fraction accounted for 10%.

Abstract

Expandable vinyl aromatic polymers which comprise: a matrix obtained by polymerizing 50-100% by weight of one or more vinyl aromatic monomers and 0-50% by weight of at least one copolymer izable monomer; 1-10% by weight, calculated with respect to the polymer (a), of an expanding agent englobed in the polymeric matrix; 0.05-25% by weight, calculated with respect to the polymer (a), of a filler comprising coke with a surface area, measured according to ASTM D-3037 / 89, ranging from 5 to 50 m2 / g.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to compositions of expandable vinyl aromatic polymers having improved thermal insulation properties, their preparation and foamed articles obtained therefrom. [0002] More particularly, the present invention relates to pellets based on expandable vinylaromatic polymers, such as expandable styrene polymers, also having a reduced thermal conductivity after expansion at low densities, such as below 20 g / l, and as such The product obtained is a foamed extruded sheet starting from said vinylaromatic composition. Background technique [0003] Expandable vinyl aromatic polymers, especially expandable polystyrene (EPS), are known products which have been used for a long time for the preparation of various applications, one of the most important being Foamed products in the field of thermal insulation. [0004] These foamed products are contained in a casting mold by first swelling polymer pellets impregnated with a foamable flu...
