Abstract

A melt-processable water soluble polymer composition having a high Melt Flow Index comprising a blend of a water soluble polymer with at least 15% by weight of the total composition of a hygroscopic salt to act as a lubricant to render the polymer extrudable and/or mouldable, wherein the water content of the salt is of less than 10% by weight, and optionally a solvent polymer plasticizer in a lower amount by weight percent than the hygroscopic salt.
