Appeal No. 97-0139
Application No. 08/196,819
d. water in an amount to give a total solids of the
aqueous chemical treating composition in the range of about 1
to about 30 weight percent and wherein the aqueous chemical
treating composition is essentially free of inorganic
antistatic agents and where the pH of the aqueous treating
composition is below about 7.
Claim 23. In glass fiber strands having a plurality of
glass fibers, where the glass fibers have at least a portion
of their surfaces covered with the dried residue of an aqueous
treating composition, where the aqueous treating composition
has:
a. an aqueous soluble, dispersible or emulsifiable film
forming polyester having an amount of aliphatic unsaturation
of less than 1.5 double bonds per mole of polymer and a ratio
of aliphatic to aromatic unsaturation of less than 0.1;
b. organo coupling agent selected from the group
consisting of acryloxy-containing, and methacryloxy-containing
coupling agents, present in an effective coupling agent
amount;
c. polyamino amide cationic fiber lubricant made with
pelargonic acid; and
d. water in an amount to give a total solids of the
aqueous chemical treating composition in the range of about 1
to about 30 weight percent and wherein the aqueous chemical
treating composition is essentially free of inorganic
antistatic agents and where the pH of the aqueous treating
composition is below about 7, where the IMPROVEMENT COMPRISES:
the polyester is selected from the group consisting of
bisphenol A polyester and esterified epoxy resin where the
esterification is by reaction with carboxylic acids to
esterify the epoxy group to the hydroxy ester,
a second aqueous soluble, dispersible or emulsifiable
film forming polymer present that is a moderate wettable
polyvinylacetate polymeric material selected from the group
