Abstract: The present invention relates to composition for the preparation of a polymeric foam with improved thermal properties, to a polymeric foam obtainable therefrom, and to a method for preparing such a polymeric foam each for them comprising (i) an at least essentially amorphous polymer resin and (ii) a nucleating agent. The at least essentially amorphous polymer resin is preferably polystyrene. The nucleating agent is preferably selected from the group consisting of 1,3:2,4-bis-(benzylidene)-sorbitol derivates and mixtures thereof, and is preferably 1,3:2,4-bis-O-(4-methylbenzylidene)-D-sorbitol, 1,3:2,4-bis-(3,4-Dimethylbenzylidene)-sorbitol and 1,3:2,4-bis-(4-propylbenzylidene)-propyl sorbitol.

The at least essentially amorphous polymer resin is preferably polystyrene. The nucleating agent is preferably selected from the group consisting of a 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid derivative, a 5-amino isophthalic acid derivative, a 3,5,-diamino benzoic acid derivative, a 1,3,5-benzenetrisamide, a 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-benzenetrisamide, and mixtures thereof, and is preferably 1,3,5-tris(2,2-dimethylpropanamido) benzene.

Abstract: The invention relates to an active ingredient composition which has a high content in thermosensitive foaming agents and one or more polyolefin resins, the portion which is larger in quantity being a metallocene and optionally the remaining resins being polar or nonpolar nonmetallocene polyolefin resins. All polyolefin resins add up to at least 10% by weight of the formulation and have a melting point between 80 and 170° C. The reduced dust active ingredient composition according to the invention is used for the masterbatch production of foamed plastics.
