Abstract
Abstract The present invention is directed to a process for coating glass fibers by (1) applying an aqueously dispersed, heat-curable coating composition containing (a) a water-dispersible epoxy resin component containing external and/or chemically incorporated non-ionic emulsifiers and (b) a water-dispersible, block polyisocyanate component containing chemically incorporated anionic hydrophilic groups in a weight ratio of component (a) to component (b) of about 1:10 to 10:1 to glass fibers and (2) curing the coating composition at elevated temperature. The present invention is also directed to the coated glass fibers produced therefrom.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A process for the production of coated glass fibers which comprises (1) applying an aqueously dispersed, heat-curable coating composition comprising (a) a water-dispersible epoxy resin component containing external and/or chemically incorporated non-ionic emulsifiers and (b) a water-dispersible, blocked polyisocyanate component containing chemically incorporated anionic hydrophilic groups in a weight ratio of component (a) to component (b) of about 1:10 to 10:1 to said glass fibers and (2) curing the coated glass fibers at elevated temperature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A process for the production of coated glass fibers which comprises (1) applying an aqueously dispersed, heat-curable coating composition comprising (a) a water-dispersible epoxy resin component containing external and/or chemically incorporated non-ionic emulsifiers and (b) a water-dispersible, blocked polyisocyanate component containing chemically incorporated anionic hydrophilic groups in a weight ratio of component (a) to component (b) of about 1:10 to 10:1 to said glass fibers and (2) curing the coated glass fibers at elevated temperature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
84 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said epoxy resin component has an average molecular weight of about 500 to 20,000 and is the addition product of reactants comprising (i) from about 50 to 90 parts by weight of the diglycidyl ether of a dihydric phenol, (ii) from about 8 to 35 parts by weight of a dihydric phenol and (iii) from about 2 to 15 parts by weight of the diglycidyl ether of a polyoxyalkylene glycol based on ethylene oxide and optionally propylene oxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
96 words
The process of claim 1 wherein component (b) comprises the reaction product of (i) a polyisocyanate containing 2 to 4 isocyanate groups, (ii) a blocking agent for isocyanate groups in an amount sufficient to block about 30 to 95% of the isocyanate groups of component (i) and (iii) a compound containing at least one potential anionic group and at least one isocyanate-reactive group in an amount sufficient to react with the remaining isocyanate groups of component (i), the potential ionic groups being treated with a neutralizing agent in an amount sufficient to render component (b) water-dispersible.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
96 words
The process of claim 2 wherein component (b) comprises the reaction product of (i) a polyisocyanate containing 2 to 4 isocyanate groups, (ii) a blocking agent for isocyanate groups in an amount sufficient to block about 30 to 95% of the isocyanate groups of component (i) and (iii) a compound containing at least one potential anionic group and at least one isocyanate-reactive group in an amount sufficient to react with the remaining isocyanate groups of component (i), the potential ionic groups being treated with a neutralizing agent in an amount sufficient to render component (b) water-dispersible.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
10 words
The coated glass fibers produced in accordance with claim 1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
10 words
The coated glass fibers produced in accordance with claim 4.
