Abstract:
A process for producing expandable styrene polymers via polymerization of at least one vinylaromatic monomer in aqueous suspension in the presence of at least one halogenated polymer as flame retardant, graphite, and blowing agent, which comprises the presence, in the aqueous suspension at the start of the polymerization reaction, of from 1 to 30% by weight of at least one styrene polymer, based on the entirety of monomers and styrene polymer, and likewise the presence of at least one halogenated polymer as flame retardant in the styrene polymer used at the start of the polymerization reaction.
Abstract:
a) Production of prepolymer beads through a first suspension polymerization reaction using an aqueous suspension comprising styrene monomers and comprising particulate additives, b) isolation of the prepolymer beads, c) optional division of the prepolymer beads into fractions of different particle size and selection of one or more fractions for subsequent stages, d) production of an aqueous suspension of the prepolymer beads and conduct of a second suspension polymerization reaction in the presence of blowing agent and with addition of further monomers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a molded body by the selective laser sintering of a sinter powder (SP). The sinter powder (SP) contains at least one polyamide (P) and 5 to 50 wt %, preferably 10 to 50 wt %, of at least one aluminum silicate. The at least one aluminum silicate has a D50 value in the range of 2.5 to 4.5 μm. The present invention also relates to molded bodies obtainable by means of the method according to the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a polyamide composition (PC) which comprises at least one polyamide (P) and at least one additive (A). The present invention further relates to the use of the polyamide composition (PC) in a selective laser sintering process, in an injection molding process, for producing molded articles and in an extrusion process.
