Abstract

Pourable particles of normally soft and tacky plastic materials are formed by extruding the molten plastic material into contact with a cooling fluid containing a non-sticky material that is compatible with the plastic material, cutting the plastic material into particles, separating these particles from the cooling fluid, and contacting these particles with a second compatible non-sticky material.
