Abstract
Abstract In a process for producing fiber-reinforced hydraulically setting extruding materials, the process which comprises, not adding the reinforcing fiber in the form of single fibers to the starting materials, but employing it as collected yarns by collecting the single fibers with a collecting agent, uniformly dispersing them in the starting materials, then releasing the collected condition of said dispersed collected yarns and splitting into single fibers by swelling and dissolution of the collecting agent and by the shear force by a screw etc., thereby the dispersion is improved. The single fibers having a great aspect ratio which have been released from the collected condtion are uniformly dispersed in the extruding material, and a remarkable reinforcing effect is obtained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
A process for producing hydraulically setting materials which is characterized by dispersing in said material as a reinforcing fiber collected yarns which are obtained by fixing polyvinyl alcohol fibers with a water-soluble collecting agent to 200-10,000 denier and cutting said fibers so that the aspect ratio of the single fiber unit is 50-700, and 60% or more of which is split into single fibers during extrusion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
A process for producing hydraulically setting materials which is characterized by dispersing in said material as a reinforcing fiber collected yarns which are obtained by fixing polyvinyl alcohol fibers with a water-soluble collecting agent to 200-10,000 denier and cutting said fibers so that the aspect ratio of the single fiber unit is 50-700, and 60% or more of which is split into single fibers during extrusion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process for producing hydraulically setting extruding material according to claim 1 wherein the single fiber unit has a single fiber denier of 0.5-25 denier and a tensile strength of 40 kg/mm 2 or more.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The process for producing hydraulically setting extruding material according to claim 1 or 2 wherein the amount of the polyvinyl alcohol collected yarns dispersed in said material is 0.1-3% by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the aspect ratio of the single fiber unit is 200 to 500.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1 wherein 80% or more of the collected yarns are split into single fibers during extrusion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
