A process for preparing a fiber reinforced thermoplastic is disclosed. The process includes melting a first thermoplastic and a second thermoplastic in a melting zone of a twin-screw processor, feeding at least one continuous fiber downstream of the melting zone into a melted mixture of the first thermoplastic and the second thermoplastic, incorporating the at least one continuous fiber into the melted mixture in a mixing zone, the mixing zone including at least one wave element having a continuous outer surface in the form of a helical wave, and obtaining the fiber reinforced thermoplastic from the twin screw processor. Further, a fiber reinforced thermoplastic composition prepared by an extrusion process the composition having a density between 1.3 g/cc to 1.7 g/cc and a flexural modulus of at least 4000 MPa is disclosed.
