  • Polycarbonate sizing finish and method of application thereof
    Patent number: 4416924
    Abstract: An improved polycarbonate sizing finish is provided comprised of a polycarbonate dissolved in a solvent mixture comprising N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and an alcohol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The use of such a solvent mixture enables a relatively constant concentration of polycarbonate to be maintained, and consequently, enables a sized product fiber to be provided having a substantially uniform polycarbonate concentration thereon. In addition, the solvent may be readily and substantially completely removed from the sized fiber.
