Abstract
A monovinylidene aromatic polymer foam having reduced propensity to ignite is produced by (1) foaming a copolymer of monovinylidene aromatic monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic anhydride wherein a portion of the copolymer contains halogen moiety and (2) subsequently crosslinking the copolymer foam by contacting it with a crosslinking agent such as alkylene polyamine. The resultant copolymer foam does not melt or drip upon exposure to flame.
