Abstract: Disclosed is a co-extruded multi-layered cellulose-based film, which comprises at least a first film layer A comprising at least one first cellulose-based polymer and at least one second polymer. The film further comprises at least one sealing layer B being an outer layer and/or a middle layer of said film, and at least one slip additive. Further, the film is produced by a film extrusion process. Disclosed are also packaging materials comprising the film and a method related thereto.

Abstract: The invention concerns a thermoplastic composite material having a component A, which is a continuous matrix based on a homogeneous polymer mixture, and component B, which includes solid particles and/or fibers. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a thermoplastic composite material as well as use thereof.

Abstract: The invention concerns a textile fiber or textile web having a binary polymer composition, which binary polymer composition included a first polymer being cellulose acetate propionate and a second polymer selected from several polymers. Furthermore, a method and use related thereto are described.

Abstract: The invention concerns a film based on a binary polymer composition having at least a first polymer and a second polymer. The film is oriented by extruding and stretching the film in at least the machine direction. The glass-transition temperature (Tg) of the first polymer is greater than the orientation temperature and the glass-transition temperature (Tg) of the second polymer is lower than the orientation temperature. Furthermore, a method and use related thereto are described.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a homogenous polymer mixture comprising a polymer composition that comprises at least one cellulose ester polymer, which is cellulose acetate propionate (CAP), and at least one other polymer selected from the group consisting of polybutylene succinate (PBS) and polypropylene succinate (PPS), wherein the total amount of said cellulose ester polymer and said at least one other polymer is at least 80 wt. % based on the total weight of the polymer composition. The invention also concerns a method and use related thereto.
