Abstract: A process for the production of products of light cellular plastic with closed cells from a plastic composition containing chemical blowing agent and, optionally, other process-regulative substances and additives, where the plastic composition is processed (kneaded) mechanically in a plastic processing machine to a well homogenized, melted plastic compound, and that the plastic compound is then pressed into a closed cavity, at a temperature above the decomposition temperature for the chemical blowing agent in the plastic compound, in combination with possible decomposition regulative additives.
