Abstract
Abstract This invention is directed to processable cellulose esters having excellent adhesion to metal substrates and weatherability. These commercially useful cellulose ester compositions can be molded, extruded over metal foils, shaped and otherwise processed in a thermoplastic condition at elevated temperatures to provide products having improved ultraviolet light stability or weatherability and good color stability.
