Abstract
Abstract An aqueous size composition is disclosed. The composition is particularly suited for application to glass fibers, and consists essentially of an emulsified epoxy resin, a gamma-methacryloxypropyltrialkoxy silane wherein the alkoxy group has from 1 to 3 carbons, a polyethylene glycol monostearate, a polyvinylpyrrolidone, a water dispersible powder of disintegrated beta-1,4-glucan material and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose dispersed therein and an organic acid in an amount sufficient to provide a pH from 3 to 6.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
An aqueous size composition for glass fibers, said composition consisting essentially of an emulsified epoxy resin, a gamma-methacryloxypropyltrialkoxy silane wherein each alkoxy group has from one to three carbons, a polyethylene glycol monostearate, a polyvinylpyrrolidone, a water dispersible powder comprising about 85 to 95 parts by weight of disintegrated beta-1,4-glucan-containing material and from about 15 to 5 parts by weight of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose having a degree of substitution of 0.75±0.15, a lubricant and an organic acid in an amount sufficient to provide a pH from 3 to 6.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
An aqueous size composition for glass fibers, said composition consisting essentially of an emulsified epoxy resin, a gamma-methacryloxypropyltrialkoxy silane wherein each alkoxy group has from one to three carbons, a polyethylene glycol monostearate, a polyvinylpyrrolidone, a water dispersible powder comprising about 85 to 95 parts by weight of disintegrated beta-1,4-glucan-containing material and from about 15 to 5 parts by weight of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose having a degree of substitution of 0.75±0.15, a lubricant and an organic acid in an amount sufficient to provide a pH from 3 to 6.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
An aqueous size composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the total solids content of the composition is from about 3 percent to about 7 percent, the epoxy resin solids are from about 2 percent to about 4 percent, the glycol monostearate solids are from about 1/2 percent to about 13/4 percent and that glucan-carboxymethyl cellulose solids are from about 0.1 percent to about 0.5 percent, all proportions by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
An aqueous size composition as claimed in claim 2 wherein the silane is gamma-methacryloxy-propyltrimethoxy silane, and said silane constitutes from about 10 percent to about 25 percent by weight based upon the epoxy resin solids.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A glass fiber produced by applying an aqueous size composition as claimed in claim 1 to the surface of a freshly drawn fiber and curing the size.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
A glass fiber as claimed in claim 4 wherein the cured size constitutes from about one-fourth percent to about three-fourth percent by weight, based upon the weight of the fiber and the cured size.
