A string binder is disclosed which is useful for making reinforcing articles for use in the manufacture of molded composite articles. The string binder comprises a fibrous carrier substrate covered with a solidified coating comprising a binder resin material having an acid value of less than about 30 mg KOH/g of resin. Additionally, the fibrous carrier substrate may be coated with at least one layer of a pre-coating or post-coating comprising a catalyst composition. The string binder may be co-roved with one or more ends of a separate fibrous reinforcing material to make a product suitable for use in various molding applications.

String binders and method for making same

This development provides glycidyl-acrylates that, when copolymerized with unsaturated polyesters, provide high performance, structural SMC products. The acrylates increase the reactivity of the polyesters. One result has been 'zero shrinkage' parts with good heat distortion, pigmentability and excellent mechanical and physical properties.

Unsaturated polyester resin compositions

A low-profile additive composition is disclosed which comprises ethylene glycol, at least one nonpolar diol, adipic acid and trimellitic anhydride. The low-profile additive, when included in an unsaturated polyester resin systems, for use in making sheet molding compositions, provides improved processing characteristics such as viscosity thickening plateau, paste viscosity and phase separation during maturation when the unsaturated polyester.

Thermoplastic low-profile additives and use thereof in unsaturated

The present invention provides a fiberglass composite which possesses outstanding armor properties. This ballistic resistant composite material employs high strength magnesia aluminosilicate glass fibers and phenol formaldehyde condensation product as the matrix resin. The composite is produced from sheet molding compound using little or no solvent.

Ballistic materials

Cocoa amine acetate and a polyamide condensate, in combination as a lubricant in a glass size, result in glass strands exhibiting less fuzz than does glass sized with a size containing either of the two components, individually.
