The present invention provides processes for the extrusion of a shapable resin-containing composition as a foam, wherein said composition comprises at least one extrudable resin and at least one saccharide ester of Formula I: Also disclosed are foams produced by said processes.

Shapable resin compositions

The present invention provides processes for the extrusion of a shapeable resin-containing composition as a foam, wherein said composition comprises at least one extrudable resin and at least one saccharide ester of Formula I: 

The present invention provides processes for the extrusion of a shapeable resin-containing composition as a foam, wherein said composition comprises at least one extrudable resin and at least one saccharide ester of Formula I: wherein 'A' is independently hydrogen or has the structure of Structure I: wherein each 'R' is independently an aliphatic or aromatic moiety of about 8 to about 40 carbon atoms, and wherein all of the &#x201c;A&#x201d; moieties of at least about 70 wt. % of the compounds of Formula I comprise moieties of Structure I. Also disclosed are foams produced by said processes.

Disclosed are composite compositions well suited for forming shaped articles which comprise thermoplastic polymer, cellulose, a coupling agent comprising anhydride moities, and a lubricant comprising an alkyl ester of carboxylic acid. Preferably the lubricant is substantially free of zinc stearate.

Composite compositions

The present invention provides a shapeable resin-containing composition comprising at least one saccharide ester, preferably according to Formula I. wherein 'A' is hydrogen or has the structure of Structure I: wherein 'R' is an aliphatic or aromatic moiety of about eight to about 40 carbon atoms, and wherein at least one &#x201c;A&#x201d; moiety of Formula I is a moiety of Structure I. Also provided are shaping methods and shaped products based on the present compositions.

Shapeable resin compositions

The present invention provides an extrudable reinforced resin-containing composition comprising resin capable of plastic flow, reinforcing material, and a lubricant composition comprising oxidized polyethylene wax, ester wax, and amide wax. Also provided are the lubricant composition, and extrusion methods and extruded products based on the present compositions.
