Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004022636A1] The invention relates to a method for the production of low-bulk density foam particles made of thermoplastic polymers, comprising the following steps: a) a foaming agent is added to a thermoplastic polymer melt, b) the polymer melt containing the foaming agent is cooled and extruded by means of a nozzle, c) the polymer melt containing the foaming agent is cut at the rear of the nozzle at reduced pressure and the foam particles are foamed, said foaming agent containing water and a solubility mediator, in addition to foam particles which can be obtained according to said method.
