10. A method of making a fiber-reinforced poly(vinyl chloride)-containing article, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) feeding granules of poly(vinyl chloride) reinforced with fibers into a two-stage, single-screw extrusion apparatus that has a vent at the beginning of the second stage for devolatilization of outgasses during extrusion; and
(b) extruding fiber-reinforced poly(vinyl chloride) through a profile extrusion die. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
