Thermally curable wet-impregnated rovings in which the fibers of the roving are impregnated with a liquid polyepoxide having dispersed therein a latent heat-activatable epoxy curing catalyst, such as dicyandiamide, the polyepoxide dispersion having a room temperature vicosity of from 2000 to 5000 centipoises and a tack of less than about 6 on a Thwing-Albert inkometer. The rovings are produced without organic solvent by passing a dry multifilament roving through an elevated temperature bath of the polyepoxide dispersion, this elevated temperature being insufficient to activate the curing catalyst and functioning to lower the viscosity to enable uniform impregnation. The wet rovings are stored in a supply package. |
