Patent number: 6185963Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing continuous a glass fiber strand. The process consists in depositing on the glass filaments which are in the process of being drawn a sizing composition consisting of a solution of which the solvent content is less than 5 wt %, the solution comprising a mixture of constituents which can be polymerized and/or crosslinked by heat treatment, at least 60 wt % of the constituents being constituents of which the molecular weight (Mw) is less than 750, less than 10 weight % being film-forming agents and 0 to 25 weight % being coupling agents, lubricants, stabilizers and initiators and/or catalysts, it being possible if necessary for the agent to be polymerized and/or crosslinked by heat treatment, in winding the strand or strands, formed by collection of the filaments, on a rotating support so as to form a wound package consisting of turns of strand coated with a non-polymerized sizing composition.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1997Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: Vetrotex FranceInventors: Patrick Moireau, Timothy Johnson

Patent number: 6139956Abstract: Depositing a thermoplastic resin powder in between the individual fibers of a reinforcing continuous fiber bundle and subsequently applying a solution of a binder resin dissolved in a solvent to the resulting reinforcing continuous fiber bundle, the thermoplastic resin powder is fixed in between the individual fibers via the binder resin which concurrently works to bind the individual fibers together. Then, the solvent of the binder resin is substantially removed from the resulting reinforcing continues fiber bundle within a temperature zone not above the melting point or flow point of the thermoplastic resin powder. In the molding material produced by the method, the individual fibers of the reinforcing continuous fiber bundle, the individual fibers and the thermoplastic resin powder, and the individual thermoplastic resin powders are independently fixed together, all in a pin-point fashion via the binder resin, so the molding material substantially does not contain the solvent of the binder resin.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 1999Date of Patent: October 31, 2000Assignee: Toho Rayon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Endoh, Yoshio Iizuka
