  • Patent number: 11292909
    Abstract: The present invention provides an extrudable polymer composition comprising a base polymer and a bicomponent fiber comprising a low melt temperature component selected from the group consisting of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polylactic acid (PLA) and a high melt temperature component selected from the group consisting of PET, 100% PDLA, 100% PLLA or a 50/50 blend of 100% PDLA and 100% PLLA, and nylon wherein the base polymer has a melt temperature of about 20° C. to 40° C. lower than this high melt temperature component of the bicomponent fiber.
