An extrusion profile is formed of foamed plastic, which includes a filler of wood flour or wood fiber. The foamed plastic may include polyvinyl chloride, crystalline polyvinyl chloride or polystyrene in combination with the wood flour filler. The invention provides an extruded solid elongated composite member of foamed plastic consisting substantially of, in parts (volume): polymer resin: 100 wood fiber: ~15 - 140 stabilizers: ~up to 5 lubricants: ~up to 5 process aids: ~up to 10 blowing agents: up to 5 and colorant: ~up to 10; said wood fiber being particles encapsulated within said polymer resin and formed into pellets prior to being combined with a mixture comprising an additional amount of said polymer resin and said blowing agents. The invention also provides a method of forming a solid elongated member of predetermined profile of extrudable foamed material of the composition described herein, said method including the steps of: forming the extrudable foam material by a pelletizing process, said process including the steps of: encapsulating wood fiber particles with said polymer resin in an extrudable material and extruding and cutting said extrudable material to form pellets of said extrudable material compressing said extrudable foam material at a compression stage by passage through an orifice, said orifice having at one end thereof a predetermined profile, expanding said foam material through a shaper, said shaper having an internal solid surface defining a channel for said foam material, and solidifying said foam material to form a solid elongated member. |
