Abstract

A process for producing moldings comprises the steps of injecting a plastified synthetic resin into a mold cavity, thereafter or simultaneously injecting heated fluid having a viscosity of 0.01 - 100 poise into the same mold cavity to fill it with said fluid in such a manner that said heated fluid is surrounded by said synthetic resin within said mold cavity and releasing said fluid from said mold cavity after at least a portion of said synthetic resin has set. If the injected synthetic resin contains any foaming agent, a foamed article having its outer smooth skin can be obtained according to the present invention. If the injected synthetic resin contains no foaming agent, a hollow, smooth-surfaced article can be obtained.
