Expandable polyvinyl (idene) aromatic particles, process for preparing them and molded articles produced therefrom.

摘要

Heat expandable particles of a polyvinyl(idene) aromatic compound contain a blowing agent and at least 0.6 percent of a plasticizer, based on the total weight of the polyvinyl (idene) aromatic compound and the plasticizer. The particles are at least partially coated with one or more glycerides of a fatty acid and or with an oil. The particles can be expanded and molded to foamed articles. The foamed articles are especially useful as shock absorbing packaging material.
