Abstract

Abstract A migration-free size for glass fibers which includes a silane coupler, lubricant and film former and is characterized by the absence of a carrier, either aqueous or organic. To provide required shelf-life, a volatile agent such as acetone is added in limited amount to block coupler-film former reaction pending use of the size.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 89 words
A size for treating glass fibers comprising: from about 5 to about 30 percent by weight of a silane coupler; from about 10 to about 65 percent by weight of a lubricant; from about 10 to about 70 percent by weight of an epoxy film former; and an amount, up to about 8 percent by weight, of a volatile blocking agent sufficient for blocking the reaction of said coupler and said film former; said size having a viscosity not greater than 2000 cps and carrier being substantially absent therefrom.
