Definitions
- Particle foams or particle foams, particle foam
- shaped articles based thereon on the basis of thermoplastic polyurethane or other elastomers are known (for example WO 94/20568, WO 2007/082838 A1, WO2017030835, WO 2013/153190 A1
- Particle foam or particle foam in the sense of the present invention denotes a foam in the form of a particle, wherein the average diameter of the particle foam is between 0.2 to 20, preferably 0.5 to 15 and in particular between 1 to 12 mm.
- non-spherical, e.g. elongated or cylindrical particle foam is meant by diameter the longest dimension.
- Sufficient bonding or welding of the particle foams is essential in order to obtain advantageous mechanical properties of the molded part produced from the particle foam.

- particle foams are advantageous in which the compression properties of the molded articles produced from the particle foams are rather low with little force, and in the region in which the shoe is worn have a deformation which is sufficient for the wearer.
- a further problem is that in the case of large-scale production of particle foam via extrusion, the highest possible throughput of material is desirable in order to produce the required quantities in as short a time as possible.
- too fast processing of the material into inferior material leads to instability and / or collapse of the obtained particle foams. Accordingly, there is still a need to provide particle foams in which the production time is as low as possible.
