Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 71 words
A cementitious product comprising a composite of reinforcing materials and a cementitious matrix wherein one of the reinforcing materials comprises glass fibers having a thin coating on the surfaces of the fibers wherein the coating consists essentially of a vinyl ester represented by the formula: ##STR3## wherein n is a number from 1 to 20 and each R group is hydrogen or an alkyl radical having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 71 words
A cementitious product comprising a composite of reinforcing materials and a cementitious matrix wherein one of the reinforcing materials comprises glass fibers having a thin coating on the surfaces of the fibers wherein the coating consists essentially of a vinyl ester represented by the formula: ##STR3## wherein n is a number from 1 to 20 and each R group is hydrogen or an alkyl radical having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 31 words
The cementitious product of claim 1 wherein n is a number from 1 to 10 and each R group is hydrogen or an alkyl radical having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
