Zusammenfassung:A method of molding articles of foam material comprising melting an injection molding material and mixing the material with a blowing agent in liquid form in a plasticator at a temperature and pressure such that the temperature is below the temperature at which the liquid foaming agent converts to a gas, and forcing the mixture through an orifice which resists the flow of the material to impart heat thereto, the heat imparted being of a magnitude sufficient to raise the temperature of the mixture to at least equal that at which the liquid foaming agent converts to a gas, and delivering the mixture, containing the gas, to a mold cavity.
