N2 - The influence of processing parameters, e.g. throughput and temperature, of the compounding step of wood plastic composites was investigated in this work. The effects on the mechanical properties as well as the influence on the colour of the produced composites were correlated with the different processing parameters. The composites showed a wide range of good processability, only at high temperature and low throughput strong darkening occurred, as well as a loss of tensile strength was found for these samples.
