Abstract: An aqueous sizing is provided for treating glass fibers, in particular for producing roving fibers, glass staple fibers and cut reinforcing fibers in a thermally and chemically resistant glass, and also to glass fibers coated with the sizing. The sizing protects the glass fibers against scuffing and thus from mechanical damage.

Abstract: An aqueous sizing for treating R-glass, E-glass, and ECR-glass fibers. The sizing contains a multi-component film former, a lubricant, and an adhesive. The multi-component film former includes polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol polyether, and polyamidoamide. An aqueous sizing for producing roving fibers includes polyvinylacetate ethylene copolymer, polyamidoamide, polyvinyl alcohol polyether mixture, polypropylene or polyethylene polytetrafluorethylene wax, a coupling agent, and water.
