As expandable synthetic resin particles, expandable polystyrene resin particles are well known, and by using these particles, a molded foamed article can be easily obtained at low cost. However, since the monomer constituting the polymer is styrene, the foamed molded product is required to have heat resistance for use as a heat insulating material for relatively high-temperature pipes, roof heat insulating materials, automobile parts, solar system heat insulating materials, etc. There is a drawback that it cannot be used for other purposes.

However, attempts were made to add a flame retardant to the expandable thermoplastic copolymer particles having such heat resistance, but due to the characteristics of the monomers constituting the copolymer, this It is extremely difficult to impart flame retardancy to expandable thermoplastic copolymer particles, and when using the various flame retardants conventionally used in expanded styrene resins, satisfactory flame retardance has not been achieved. If no flame retardant was obtained or a very large amount of flame retardant was used to improve flame retardancy, the result was a product with significantly inferior heat resistance and moldability. From this point of view, as a result of intensive research, the present inventors have found that the alpha methylstyrene-acrylon copolymer particles contain a specific flame retardant and preferably a specific flame retardant aid. discovered that expandable thermoplastic copolymer particles having excellent heat resistance, flame retardance, and moldability can be obtained by impregnating the particles with an easily volatile blowing agent, and have accomplished the present invention. It was. That is, in the present invention, the monomer composition constituting the polymer is 10 to 80% by weight of alpha methylstyrene, 5 to 50% by weight of acrylonitrile, and further includes styrene, chlorostyrene, paramethylstyrene, t-butylstyrene, and t-acrylic. 0 to 70% by weight of at least one compound selected from acid esters and methacrylic esters, 2 to 15% by weight of easily volatile foaming agents, and 1 to 15% by weight of flame retardants with a decomposition temperature of 180 to 250'C. And the 1 hour half-life temperature is 150 ~
These are expandable thermoplastic copolymer particles containing 02 to 2% by weight of a flame retardant aid at 250°C.

The amount of alpha methylstyrene used in the present invention is 1
It is determined in the range of 0 to 80% by weight depending on the desired heat resistance and expansion ratio, but if it is less than 10% by weight, the effect of improving heat resistance will not be seen, and if it exceeds 80% by weight, the polymerization conversion rate will decrease. A large amount of monomer remains in the resin, resulting in poor heat resistance. In order to obtain a heat resistance of 100°C in a 50 times foamed product, it is necessary to use 20 to 50% by weight of alpha methylstyrene, and in order to obtain a heat resistance of 110°C in a 5 to 10 times foamed product, it is necessary to use 50 to 50% by weight. It is necessary to use 80% by weight alpha methylstyrene.

Further, acrylonitrile used in the present invention is necessary to improve the polymerization conversion rate of the composition, and if it is less than 5% by weight, the polymerization conversion rate of the composition will decrease, which is not preferable. Further, even if it is used in an amount of 50% by weight or more, the polymerization conversion rate does not change and the resin is colored yellow, which is not preferable.

The method for producing the heat-resistant and flame-retardant bifoamable thermoplastic copolymer particles of the present invention is as follows: 1. After obtaining a copolymer having the above composition by an emulsion polymerization method, it is pelletized, and then placed in an autoclave. This method involves impregnating a readily volatile foaming agent with a flame retardant and a flame retardant aid during pelletizing. ■Bulk type 4 After obtaining a copolymer with the above composition through polymerization, it is pelletized and further impregnated with an easily volatile blowing agent in an autoclave.The flame retardant and flame retardant aid are added during polymerization or It is mixed in when making pellets. (2) A method in which copolymer particles having the above composition are obtained by suspension polymerization and then impregnated with an easily volatile blowing agent, and flame retardants and flame retardant aids are included during polymerization. However, in the emulsion polymerization method (2), an extremely complicated process of coagulating pellets after emulsion polymerization and impregnating the resulting pellets with a blowing agent is required, which not only increases production costs but also Since the resulting resin contains large amounts of emulsifiers, coagulants, etc., it has the disadvantage that only products with poor foamability, moldability, strength, etc. can be obtained. Furthermore, in the emulsion polymerization method (1) and the bulk polymerization method (2), a pelleting step is required, and flame retardants, flame retardant aids, etc. may decompose in the pelletizing step. Therefore, among the production methods (1) to (2) above, the suspension polymerization method is preferable in terms of quality and process.

However, it has conventionally been extremely difficult to obtain a copolymer with a high molecular weight that can be used practically by using a large amount of alpha methylstyrene as described above and by suspension polymerization or bulk polymerization. In the present invention, what makes it possible to polymerize an alpha methylstyrene-acrylonitrile copolymer with a high molecular weight to the extent that it can be practically used by the suspension polymerization and bulk polymerization methods is the use of a specific initiator. and selection of polymerization temperature conditions. As a polymerization initiator, a bifunctional organic peroxide with a 10-hour half-life temperature of 60 to 12 For the first time, a high molecular weight copolymer having the above monomer composition can be obtained by suspension polymerization and bulk polymerization.
