Method and apparatus for controlling glass fiber coating

摘要

A novel method and apparatus is disclosed for the coating of glass filaments to be used in elastomer and resin reinforcement. The invention includes a strand separator for dividing filaments from a glass fiber forming operation into a plurality of strands. The separator is cooled with a fluid so that heat from the oven used to cure the coating applied to the glass filaments will not heat the separator to such a degree that the coating dries and cures on the separator.
