Patent number: 11926957Abstract: The present invention relates to textile fibre products having a coating comprising polymers based on ethylenically polymerisable monomers with a glass transition temperature of at least 60° and a coating method for coating fibre products with an aqueous polymer dispersion, wherein an aqueous polymer dispersion based on vinyl polymerisable monomers with a glass transition temperature of at least 60° C. is firstly provided, and this is brought into contact with a fibre product and then dried. The invention also relates to the use of corresponding polymer dispersions for the coating of fibre products, correspondingly coated fiber products, use thereof to reinforce mineral matrices, and corresponding fibre-composite materials, in particular textile-concrete composite materials. In particular, the invention relates to a coating means that can be applied to a textile fabric in a continuous, water-based process and enables an optimal introduction of force from the mineral matrix into the textile reinforcement.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: CHT GERMANY GMBHInventors: Amon-Elias Klausmann, Jan-Valentin Rolle, Ulrike Henkel, Michael Hees
