摘要:
A relatively open air permeable glass fiber fabric for use in orthopedic casts, bandages and the like and comprising interlaced chemically desized glass yarns consisting essentially of filaments having an average diameter not greater than about 0.00021 inch. A method of forming such a fabric wherein glass yarns are formed which consist essentially of filaments of the above diameter, the glass yarns are formed into a relatively open air, permeable, flexible fabric, and the glass yarns are chemically desized either before or after formation into the fabric. A coupling agent may also be applied to the glass yarns or fabric.

A PRODUCER-SIZED FIBER GLASS MATERIAL, SUCH AS YARN, IS CHEMICALLY DESIZED WITH A SIZE CONVERTING ENZYME AND THE MATERIAL IS THEN FINISHED, AS BY APPLYING A RESIN BONDED PIGMENT FINISH THERETO, TO FORM A PRODUCT OF HIGHER STRENGTH, FLEXIBITY AND ABRASION RESISTANCE THAN FORMER PRODUCTS DESIZED AND FINISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CONVENTIONAL TECHNIQUES.
