A method and apparatus are provided for producing a mixture of plastics materials which are capable of being foamed with propellants. The method permits plastics materials, which require considerably different processing conditions, to be fused, homogenized and mixed with a propellant in an extruder. By feeding a high-molecular weight high-temperature resistant plastics material into the extruder through a first feed opening and subsequently feeding a low-molecular weight, low-temperature-resistant plastics material into the extruder through a second feed opening disposed downstream of the first feed opening but where the first plastics material is in a fused and homogeneous state and by introducing the propellant through a third feed opening downstream of the second feed opening, the desired homogenisation of the two plastics materials and propellant is ensured. |
