Abstract:
A fiber composition, comprising:a plurality of fibers suspended in an aqueous environment comprising water but essentially devoid of a water-settable inorganic binder material comprising cement or concrete; said fibers comprising material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, polypropylene, polyoxymethylene, polyacrylate, polyvinyl acetate, polyester, polyamide, thermotropic liquid crystal polymers, regenerated cellulose, natural fibers, carbon fibers and glass fibers; said fibers in an amount no less than 5 percent based on total weight of composition; said fibers in an amount no greater than 40 percent based on total weight of composition; said aqueous environment having a viscosity no less than 5,000 milliPascalÂ·seconds (as measured by Brookfield viscometer at 25 degrees C.); said aqueous environment having a viscosity no greater than 200,000 milliPascalÂ·seconds (as measured by Brookfield viscometer at 25 degrees C.); and said aqueous environment having at least one viscosity modifier for increasing the water viscosity within said aqueous environment.
