<p>A material for the production by extrusion or molding or calendering of light articles has a chemical formulation comprising at least a thermoplastic polymer. A predetermined amount of polymeric microspheres containing isopentane is added to said at least a thermoplastic polymer. A process for producing said material comprises a first step during which the thermoplastic polymer is mixed to further components (such as thermal stabilizers and/or costabilizers and/or additives) and a second step during which the mixture is granulated in order to obtain a granular compound. At the end of the first step, and advantageously immediately before the beginning of said second step, a predetermined amount of polymeric microspheres containing isopentane is added to the mixture. Said material is used for the production by injection molding or extrusion or calendering of light articles in the shoe industry, particularly of shoe soles.</p> |
