We have developed a polyvinyl chloride foam with a smooth surface and uniform cell size. The foams also are resilient and abrasion resistant, making them especially suited for use in carpeting materials. To do this, we add along chain silane or epoxide to the foam.

PVC foams

A composition for use in the treatment of glass fibers and glass fibers treated therewith, wherein the composition is formulated to include an organo silicon compound in the form of an epoxy silane blended with an organo silicon compound containing a beta-chloroalkoxy group. The glass fibers treated with the composition can be used in the reinforcement of thermosetting resins and elastomeric materials.

Complex organo silicon compounds

A composition for use in the treatment of glass fibers and glass fibers treated therewith, wherein the composition is formulated to include an organo silicon compound in the form of an epoxy, an amino or an alkenyl silane blended with an organo silicon compound containing a beta-chloroalkoxy group. The glass fibers treated with the composition can be used in the reinforcement of thermosetting resins and elastomeric materials.

Glass fibers coated with compositions containing complex organo silicon

A composition for use in the treatment of glass fibers for use as reinforcement for plastics and elastomeric materials and glass fibers treated therewith in which the composition is formulated to include the reaction product of a silicon halide such as silicon tetrachloride with an aliphatic epoxide containing at least fourteen carbon atoms.

Glass fiber reinforcement

Organo metallic compounds for use in the treatment of glass fibers prepared by reaction of a hydrolyzable metal halide and one or more epoxides. The organo metallic compounds of this invention are characterized by a beta-haloalkoxy group and are resistant to hydrolysis.

Organo metallic compounds

This invention is addressed to organo silicon compounds prepared by reaction of a halosilane, a monoepoxide containing at least one other functional group, and at least one polyepoxide. The products of this invention are liquid organo silicon compounds which are useful in the treatment of glass fibers to improve the bonding relationship between glass fibers and resinous or elastomeric materials.
