The invention relates to the technical field of production of expandable
polystyrene (EPS) beads, and discloses a production process of EPS beads, which comprises the following steps: preparing
styrene monomer, deionized water,
foaming agent, initiator, dispersing agent and stabilizer raw materials, accurately weighing various raw materials according to the production process and product requirements, and uniformly mixing according to a certain ratio to obtain the EPS beads. The preparation method comprises the following steps: sequentially adding the prepared raw materials into a reaction kettle, firstly adding deionized water, then quantitatively adding a
styrene monomer, starting a stirrer, then sequentially adding auxiliaries such as an initiator, a dispersing agent and a stabilizer, and continuously stirring and uniformly mixing to carry out
polymerization reaction. According to the present invention, the modern expandable
polystyrene bead production process mostly adopts the automatic
production line, the continuous and stable production can be achieved, the production efficiency is improved, the
styrene monomer, the initiator and the
foaming agent are simultaneously added into the reaction kettle in the new preparation production process, the production process is simplified, the production links are reduced, and the production cost is reduced. Therefore, the production efficiency is further improved.
