Self-extinguishing molding materials, comprising (A) a polymer of a vinyl-aromatic compound, especially a styrene polymer, which has been made impact-resistant (B) a polyphenylene ether and (C) a flameproofing additive, with or without (D) conventional additives, wherein one part of the soft component of the impact-resistant polymer of the vinyl-aromatic compound has a mean particle size of .ltoreq.1.5 .mu.m and the other part has a mean particle size of .ltoreq.3 .mu.m. Such molding materials not only have good self-extinguishing properties but also give moldings having a particularly uniform matt surface.

Self-extinguishing thermoplastic molding material

The invention relates to thermoplastic molding materials based on impact resistant polystyrene and polyphenylene ethers. The molding materials of this invention contain a flexible component having a glass temperature below -70.degree. C. and a flexible component having a glass temperature in the range of 0.degree. to -70.degree. C.

Thermoplastic molding materials

The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of impact resistant thermoplastic molding materials wherein potassium salts of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids with 10 to 30 carbon atoms are used as emulsifier.

Process for the manufacture of impact resistant thermoplastic molding

Thermoplastic molding materials based on impact resistant styrene polymers and polyphenylene ethers, containing an ester of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having 8 to 30 carbon atoms and an aliphatic or aromatic hydroxy compound having 1 to 6 hydroxyl groups.

Thermoplastic molding materials based on impact resistant styrene polymers and polyphenylene ethers containing a hydrocarbon wax having a melt viscosity of less than 500 centistokes at 120.degree. C.

The use of alkyl acrylate in the preparation of the soft component of impact-resistant polystyrene based on polystyrene-grafted butadiene mixed with polyphenylene ether reduces the dust attraction of moldings prepared from this type of mixture.
