Claims10
A method of producing a glass mat which comprises:
- a. dispersing a plurality of glass fibers in an aqueous composition to form a dispersion, said glass fibers having at least a portion of their surface in contact with an effective amount of a size comprising a methyl trimethoxysilane and a malto-dextrin, said dispersion comprising an effective amount of a nonionic guar gum and an isostearic amide;
- b. withdrawing water from said dispersion to produce a glass mat;
- and,
- c. recovering said glass mat.
A composition comprising a plurality of glass fibers at least a portion of the surfaces of said fibers being in contact with an effective amount of a size comprising a methyl trimethoxysilane and a malto-dextrin, said fibers being dispersed in an aqueous system comprising an effective amount of a nonionic guar gum and an isostearic amide.
