Zusammenfassung:The process for the preparation of shaped bodies based on expanded styrene polymers comprising: the polymerization of styrene or a mixture thereof with at least one monomer copolymerizable therewith, the addition of an expanding agent, pre-forming of the resulting expandable particles, ageing of the pre-formed particles, and molding thereof in a pressure resistant mold, is improved in the decrease of the minimum mold dwell time by carrying the polymerization in the presence of 0.0005 to less than 0.01% by weight based on the styrene polymer of organic bromine compounds which give a chain transfer constant of at least 200 and at 100 DEG C. in bidistilled water the bromine compounds split off less than one molar % of hydrogen bromide per equivalent of bromine present in the molecule.
