Abstract: Compositions and methods for producing polymeric composites containing extrudable capstock compositions. The capstock composition includes crosslinkable polymer. The capstock composition can also include additives to impart certain functionality, including ultraviolet stability, ultraviolet reflectance, gloss reduction, color and microbial resistance.
Abstract: Compositions and methods for producing polymeric composites containing reinforcing additives. In one embodiment, a filler is also included in the formulation. Articles produced from the reinforcing additives and the composites of this invention are useful as building materials and automotive components.

Abstract: A substrate having a flame retardant polymer chemically bonded to at least a portion of the substrate. The use of a substrate possessing at least a partially coated outer surface of a flame retardant polymer enables the manufacturing of polymer composites, containing the coated substrate, that possess very effective flame retardant performance while reducing the loading levels over conventional flame retardant additives.
