[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.

The film-forming agent is a mixture of a first film-forming agent and a second film-forming agent. The first film-forming agent is a fluorinated epoxy emulsion with a molecular weight of 1500-2200; the second film-forming agent is an organosilicon-modified polyurethane emulsion with a molecular weight of 1800-2700.

[0028] In some optional embodiments, a direct-yarn glass fiber impregnating agent is provided, comprising an effective component and water. The effective component comprises a silane coupling agent, a film-forming agent, a lubricant, a surfactant, a plasticizer, inorganic nanoparticles, and a pH adjuster. The solid content of the impregnating agent is 6-9%. The percentage of the solid mass of each effective component relative to the total solid mass of the impregnating agent is as follows: silane coupling agent 10-20%, film-forming agent 52-70%, lubricant 12-19%, surfactant 2-5%, plasticizer 1-4%, inorganic nanoparticles 0.2-1%, and pH adjuster 2-6%.

The first film-forming agent is a fluorinated epoxy emulsion with a molecular weight of 1500-2200; the second film-forming agent is an organosilicon-modified polyurethane emulsion with a molecular weight of 1800-2700.

[0029] In some optional embodiments, a direct-yarn glass fiber impregnating agent is provided, comprising an effective component and water. The effective component comprises a silane coupling agent, a film-forming agent, a lubricant, a surfactant, a plasticizer, inorganic nanoparticles, and a pH adjuster. The solid content of the impregnating agent is 6-9%. The percentage of the solid mass of each effective component relative to the total solid mass of the impregnating agent is expressed as follows: silane coupling agent 10-16%, film-forming agent 55-68%, lubricant 14-17%, surfactant 2-4%, plasticizer 1-3%, inorganic nanoparticles 0.3-0.5%, and pH adjuster 3-5%. The film-forming agent is a mixture of a first film-forming agent and a second film-forming agent. The first film-forming agent is a fluorinated epoxy emulsion with a molecular weight of 1500-2200; the second film-forming agent is an organosilicon-modified polyurethane emulsion with a molecular weight of 1800-2700.

[0030] In this application, silane coupling agent is one of the most reactive raw materials among wetting agents. The silanol groups formed after hydrolysis are highly reactive and can react with the silanol groups on the glass fiber surface to form Si-O-Si bonds. In glass fibers, silane coupling agent plays two main roles: First, during the glass fiber drawing process, due to the high drawing speed, microcracks form on the glass fiber surface. Silane coupling agent molecules can effectively compensate for these microcracks by reacting with the silanol groups on the glass fiber surface, ensuring normal glass fiber drawing. Second, silane coupling agent acts as a "bridge" between glass fiber and resin. The R groups on the silane coupling agent can react with the functional groups on the matrix resin, while the hydroxyl groups can combine with the hydroxyl groups on the glass fiber. Therefore, it can form a reactive connection between the resin and glass fiber, thereby improving performance. The amount of silane coupling agent used needs to be controlled within a certain range. If the amount of silane coupling agent is too small, the performance of the glass fiber and composite material will be affected due to insufficient active groups; if the amount of silane coupling agent is too large, it will lead to waste and increased costs. This application controls the percentage of the solid mass of the silane coupling agent to the total solid mass of the wetting agent to be 5% to 25%, preferably 10% to 20%, and more preferably 10% to 16%.

[0031] Film-forming agents are the main component of sizing agents, not only protecting the glass fiber surface but also affecting subsequent performance. The amount of film-forming agent used must be controlled within a suitable range. Studies have found that insufficient film-forming agent results in poor sizing effect, preventing even spreading on the glass fiber surface and failing to provide effective protection during use, leading to yarn breakage. Excessive film-forming agent reduces the lubricity of the glass fiber surface, increases fuzzing during use, and hinders resin penetration. A reasonable amount of film-forming agent effectively protects the glass fiber surface without affecting the smoothness of product use. This application controls the percentage of the solid mass of the film-forming agent to the total solid mass of the sizing agent to be 48%–75%, preferably 52%–70%, and more preferably 55%–68%.

[0032] The film-forming agent in this application is a mixture of a first film-forming agent and a second film-forming agent. The first film-forming agent is a fluorinated epoxy emulsion with a molecular weight of 1500-2200; the second film-forming agent is a silicone-modified polyurethane emulsion with a molecular weight of 1800-2700. The fluorinated epoxy emulsion and the silicone-modified polyurethane emulsion not only have good film-forming properties, but also exhibit good lubricity on the surface after film formation, thus providing better protection for the yarn during product use.

[0033] Lubricant is one of the main components of glass fiber impregnation agents, primarily used to ensure the smooth operation of glass fibers during drawing and use. The amount of lubricant used is crucial in glass fiber production; too little lubricant will fail to provide adequate lubrication during drawing and use, while too much will make the yarn too soft and affect its bonding with the resin. This application controls the solid mass of the lubricant to be 8%–20% of the total solid mass of the impregnation agent, preferably 12%–19%, and more preferably 14%–17%.

[0034] Surfactants, due to their amphiphilic nature, primarily function to stabilize the components of the wetting agent. The wetting agent has a complex composition, and different components are prone to aggregation or even precipitation after mixing, affecting the normal fiber drawing process and the uniformity of the wetting agent coating. Adding an appropriate amount of surfactant can effectively solve these problems. The amount of surfactant needs to be controlled within a reasonable range; too little surfactant will not achieve the desired stabilizing effect, while too much surfactant can easily affect the effects of other components. This application controls the solid mass of the surfactant to account for 1% to 6% of the total solid mass of the wetting agent, preferably 2% to 5%, and more preferably 2% to 4%.

[0035] Sizing agents containing plasticizers can soften yarns, which helps reduce yarn fuzz during use. However, excessive use of plasticizers can affect the impregnation performance of the yarn in the resin. This application controls the percentage of the solid mass of the plasticizer to the total solid mass of the sizing agent to be 1% to 5%, preferably 1% to 4%, and more preferably 1% to 3%.

[0036] This application also incorporates inorganic nanoparticles, which can be dispersed in the film-forming agent to reinforce weaker micro-regions of the resin. Typically, only a small amount is needed to effectively enhance the strength of the film-forming agent, making the yarn less prone to wear during use. This application controls the percentage of the solid mass of the inorganic nanoparticles to the total solid mass of the sizing agent to be 0.1% to 2%, preferably 0.2% to 1%, and more preferably 0.3% to 0.5%.

[0037] The pH adjuster is mainly used to accelerate the hydrolysis of silane coupling agents and adjust the pH of the wetting agent to a value of 5-7. In this application, the solid mass of the pH adjuster accounts for 1% to 8% of the total solid mass of the wetting agent, preferably 2% to 6%, and more preferably 3% to 5%.

[0038] In some optional embodiments, the silane coupling agent is a mixture of aminosilane coupling agent and isocyanate-based silane coupling agent. The sizing agent of this application is mainly used in ultra-low linear density direct yarns, therefore requiring high yarn bundle cohesion. The aminosilane coupling agent contains amine groups, which have very high activity, beneficial for ensuring the overall bundle cohesion of the glass fiber; the isocyanate groups in the isocyanate-based silane coupling agent can participate in the curing process of epoxy resin and polyurethane resin, improving interfacial bonding performance.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the silane coupling agent is a mixture of aminosilane coupling agent and isocyanate-based silane coupling agent, and the mass ratio (C1) of the aminosilane coupling agent to the isocyanate-based silane coupling agent is 1:1 to 6:1. Aminosilane coupling agents are highly reactive; excessive use can lead to self-polymerization of the coupling agent, making the entire yarn brittle. Excessive use of isocyanate-based silane coupling agent can result in insufficient yarn bundling performance, causing loose yarn during use and affecting smoothness. This application controls the mass ratio (C1) of the aminosilane coupling agent to the isocyanate-based silane coupling agent to be 1:1 to 6:1, which minimizes the risk of self-polymerization of the coupling agent, and the sizing agent ensures the bundling performance of the yarn. In other optional embodiments, the mass ratio (C1) of the aminosilane coupling agent to the isocyanate-based silane coupling agent is 3:1 to 4:1. For example, the mass ratio C1 of the aminosilane coupling agent and the isocyanate-based silane coupling agent is 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1, 5:1 or 6:1.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, the aminosilane coupling agent is γ-(β-aminoethyl)aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and / or γ-ureapropyltriethoxysilane, and the isocyanate-based silane coupling agent is 3-isocyanate-based propyltrimethoxysilane.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the solid mass ratio C2 of the first film-forming agent and the second film-forming agent is 1:3 to 2:1. Excessive use of the first film-forming agent (fluorinated epoxy emulsion with a molecular weight of 1500-2200) will result in poor impregnation of the product in the resin; excessive use of the second film-forming agent (organosilicon-modified polyurethane emulsion with a molecular weight of 1800-2700) will result in excessively loose yarns, forming loose filaments. When the solid mass ratio C2 of the first and second film-forming agents is controlled to be 1:3 to 2:1, the prepared glass fiber achieves excellent properties. In other optional embodiments, the solid mass ratio C2 of the first and second film-forming agents is 1:2 to 1:1. Exemplarily, the solid mass ratio C2 of the first and second film-forming agents is 1:3, 1:2.5, 1:2, 1:1.5, 1:1, 1.5:1, or 2:1.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the lubricant of this application is a modified silicone oil lubricant or / and an acrylate lubricant.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the lubricant is a mixture of modified silicone oil lubricant and acrylate lubricant, and the mass ratio (C3) of the modified silicone oil lubricant to the acrylate lubricant is 2:1 to 6:1. This mixture of the two lubricants provides better lubrication, reducing wear during production and fuzzing during use. In other optional embodiments, the mass ratio (C3) of the modified silicone oil lubricant to the acrylate lubricant is 3:1 to 4:1. Exemplarily, the mass ratio (C3) of the modified silicone oil lubricant to the acrylate lubricant is 2:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1, 5:1, or 6:1.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the surfactant of this application is a pyrrolidone surfactant.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, the plasticizer is at least one of terephthalate plasticizers, adipate plasticizers, chlorinated paraffins, and epoxy fatty acid ester plasticizers.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, the plasticizer is a mixture of dioctyl terephthalate and methyl epoxide, and the mass ratio (C4) of dioctyl terephthalate to methyl epoxide is 2:1 to 5:1. In other optional embodiments, the mass ratio of dioctyl terephthalate to methyl epoxide is 2.5:1 to 4:1. Exemplary examples include mass ratios of 2.5:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, and 4:1.

[0047] In some optional embodiments, the inorganic nanoparticles are at least one of nano-silica, nano-titanium dioxide, and nano-alumina.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the pH adjuster is an acid, specifically glacial acetic acid and / or citric acid.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, a method for preparing the aforementioned direct-yarn glass fiber impregnating agent is provided, comprising:

[0050] Add water, which accounts for 30% to 40% of the total mass of the wetting agent, to the first container. Then add the pH adjuster and the silane coupling agent in sequence, and stir until the solution is clear to obtain the first solution.

[0051] In the second container, a film-forming agent diluted with water, a plasticizer, and inorganic nanoparticles diluted with water are added sequentially and mixed and stirred evenly to obtain a second solution.

[0052] After adding the second solution to the first solution, add the lubricant diluted with water and the surfactant diluted with water in sequence, add the remaining water, stir evenly, and obtain the direct yarn glass fiber impregnating agent.

[0053] The film-forming agent is diluted with 3-5 times its mass of water to obtain a water-diluted film-forming agent.

[0054] Inorganic nanoparticles were diluted with 8-10 times their mass of water at 50°C to obtain inorganic nanoparticles diluted with water.

[0055] Dilute the lubricant with 4-6 times its mass of water to obtain a lubricant diluted with water;

[0056] The surfactant is diluted with 6-8 times its mass of water at 50°C to obtain a surfactant diluted with water.
