Abstract
Abstract A fiber especially suitable for reinforcing bitumen-containing materials which comprises a fiber of polyethylene terephthalate having a tenacity of at least about 7.5 grams per denier, an elongation at break of at least about 9 percent, an elongation of not more than about 5 percent under a load of 5 grams per denier and a shrinkage of less than 4 percent when kept under a tension of 0.05 grams per denier for 4 minutes at about 160* C. Also a process for producing this fiber and a bitumen-containing structure reinforced therewith are disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
The fiber reinforced bitumen-containing material of claim 9 in which said fiber has a tenacity in a range of from about 7.5 to 9.5 grams per denier, an elongation at break of from about 9 to 15 percent, an elongation of about 2 to 5 percent at a load of 5 grams per denier, and a shrinkage of from about 1 to 4 percent when being heated for 4 minutes at 160* C. under said tension.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
32 words
The fiber reinforced bitumen-containing material of claim 1 in which the polyethylene terephthalate from which said fiber is made has a relative viscosity in the range of from about 1.5 to 1.70.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The fiber reinforced bitumen-containing material of claim 1 in which said fiber is in the form of a fabric woven from continuous multi-filament yarn.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The fiber reinforced bitumen-containing material of claim 1 in which said fiber is adhesively bonded to said bitumen-containing layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The fiber reinforced bitumen-containing material of claim 1 in which said fiber is laminated between two bitumen containing layers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
The fiber reinforced bitumen-containing material of claim 1 in which said fiber is coated with an adhesive promoting substance comprising a resinous material that has a softening point between 50* and 160* C., is miscible with bitumen, and acts as a wetting agent for the fiber.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
The fiber reinforced bitumen-containing material of claim 7 in which said resinous material is selected from the group consisting of montan resin, tall resin, coumarone and indene resins, maleic resins, phenol resins, and rosin derivatives.
