Abstract
Abstract A sizing for glass fibers, comprising water dispersible epoxy resin, polyvinyl acetate copolymer, vinyl ethylene copolymer, an organosilane, wax, lubricant, and a fluid silicone emulsion is provided, whereby the sized fibers in the form of strands, possess excellent integrity and whiteness in color when incorporated into a resinous matrix.
