Zusammenfassung:Particulate, expandable styrene polymers capable of being processed into hard foamed plastic materials of a small density and containing, therefore, at least one foaming agent comprise at least aluminum in a particulate form for improving their thermal insulation properties. The styrene polymer particles comprise, after their expansion, a fine cell structure and contain the aluminum particles incorporated in a homogeneous distribution as an infrared ray reflecting material. The main proportion of these aluminum particles has the shape of platelets having a size between 1 and 15 mum. Styrene polymer particles produced in this manner can be foamed into plastic materials of foamed polystyrene particles which have a density of 30 g/l in maximum and improved heat insulation characteristics.
