<p>A fibre bundle (10) having an outer enhancer coating (11) adapted to enhance encapsulation of the fibre by settable plastics resin material (12). The fibres can be a synthetic fibre where the outer enhancer coating has been applied to the fibre or alternatively the fibre can be a naturally occurring oiled fibre such as sheepswool where the outer coating is lanolin. Lanolin can also be recovered from wool processing water and used to coat other fibres so that the same encapsulation effect occurs upon blending with the settable plastics material, the use of this oil layer enhances intimate coating of the fibres when blended with the settable plastic and by selecting the appropriate coating for the particular plastic, an improved result in distribution of the plastic through a finished article is obtained provided, of course, that proper quantities are used.</p> |
