The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fiber-sizing agent which when applied to an inorganic reinforcement material contained in a resin composition, can provide a molded article having excellent impact resistance and high surface gloss properties. The fiber-sizing agent according to the present invention contains a modified olefin wax (A), a polyolefin resin (B), and a silane-coupling agent (C), wherein the mass ratio (A)/(B) of the modified olefin wax (A) to the polyolefin resin (B) is in the range of 0.2-10.

Fiber-sizing agent, inorganic reinforcement material, resin composition, and molded article

In an aqueous dispersion containing a resin component and water that allows the resin component to disperse, the resin component contains composite particles (C) containing an ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A) and an acrylic polymer (B), the ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A) is produced by copolymerizing a first monomer component containing ethylene and unsaturated carboxylic acid and having an ethylene content of 75 mass % or more, the acrylic polymer (B) is produced by polymerizing a second monomer component containing (meth)acrylate and having a (meth)acrylate content of 50 mass % or more, the acrylic polymer (B) has a glass transition temperature of &#x2212;28&#xb0; C. or more and 80&#xb0; C. or less, and the ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A) content relative to the total amount of the resin component is 58 mass % or more and 90 mass % or less.
