This invention is directed to an extrudable compound, an extrusion method
using a polymer, a cellulosic fiber, and at least one lubricant selected
from the group consisting of ethoxylated esters of hydantoins,
ethoxylated esters of sorbitol and sorbitan, and ethylene bisamides made
from fatty acids containing 6 10 carbons and composites manufactured
through such processes which simulate conventional wood products.Another
embodiment of the invention is directed to a composition containing
polymer, a cellulosic fiber from an agricultural waste product and a
lubricant containing a mixture of an alkylene bisamide derived from a
C.sub.10 C.sub.18 is fatty acid and an alkaline earth salt of a fatty
acid.
