Abstract

Abstract Elastomeric size compositions for glass fiber reinforced cementitious products are disclosed. These size compositions show strong improvements in all phases of strand integrity with especially improved performance in wet integrity. This in turn improves the strand's workability in a cementitious matrix.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim 93 words
A plurality of filaments, at least a portion of the filaments' surfaces being in contact with the residue produced be evaporating water from an aqueous size composition consisting essentially of the following in weight percent: from 2 to 20% of an elastomer, from 0.05 to 5% of a silane from 0.05 to 5% of acetic acid, and from 0.05 to 5% of an emulsifiable lubricious tertiary fatty acid amine having the formula ##STR1## where R is a fatty acid group and R 2 is a lower alkyl group, and the remainder being water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 93 words
A plurality of filaments, at least a portion of the filaments' surfaces being in contact with the residue produced be evaporating water from an aqueous size composition consisting essentially of the following in weight percent: from 2 to 20% of an elastomer, from 0.05 to 5% of a silane from 0.05 to 5% of acetic acid, and from 0.05 to 5% of an emulsifiable lubricious tertiary fatty acid amine having the formula ##STR1## where R is a fatty acid group and R 2 is a lower alkyl group, and the remainder being water.
