APPLICATION OF CHLOROSILANE FINISHES TO GLASS FIBERS USING THE AZEOTROPIC DISTILLATION METHOD

Abstract

The tendency of certain solvents to form low-boiling mixtures (azeotropes) with water was investigated as a means by which to strip surface adsorbed water from glass fibers prior to treatment with NOL-24, a chlorosilane. Neither the loading of finish on the fabric or the effectiveness of the treatment correlated with the presumed different stripping powers of the solvents tried. Results with chloroaromatic solvents indicated that they have substantial potential in the development of an effective, non-aqueous, large- scale process for applying chlorosilane finishes to glass fiber reinforcement.
