Abstract

The instant invention is directed to a continuous process for the production of thermoplastic materials, comprising: PA0 I. introducing 4 to 65 parts by weight of thermoplastic polymer into an extruder at a first inlet, wherein the temperature within said extruder is such that said thermoplastic polymer melts; PA0 II. adding to said thermoplastic polymer through a second inlet 35 to 96 parts by weight of the following polyurethane forming components, such that the total parts by weight of thermoplastic polymer and polyurethane components is 100: PA1 (A) organic polyisocyanate; and PA1 (B) chain lengthening agent with a molecular weight below 400 containing a hydroxyl group and/or amine group; PA1 wherein the ratio of isocyanate groups of component (A) to Zerewitinoff active groups of component (B) is in the range of from 0.90:1 to 1.2:1; and PA0 III. discharging from the extruder the product of the process when the reaction of said polyurethane components (A) and (B) is substantially complete.
