    Abstract: Process comprises mixing the thermoplastics with a foaming agent at a temp. above the softening temp. of the plastics and under pressure such that foaming of the mixt. is prevented; forcing the foamable mixt. into a lower-pressure zone; adjusting the bulk wt. of the foamed material to 10-90% of the sp. wt. of the thermoplastics; cooling the foamed foil to below the softening pt. of the plastics; and hauling off the cooled foil at >= x the rate at which the melt issued from the lip of the extrusion die. A wide range of plastics may be used, e.g. non-crosslinked polythylene, which may be so processed at above its crystallite m. pt. No additional shaping equipment is required. Also suitable for poluypropyklene, PVC, EVA and plystyrene.
