Abstract: It is shown by experiment result that the leaching solution of rice bran by water has the potential to be applied in glass fiber sizing agent as film former. After gelatinization and filtration, the film forming ability on glass surface and the sizing ability on glass fiber of the rice bran leaching solution and the solution of imported starch film former were comparatively studied. The leaching solution with surface tension of 38.70mN/m was considered to be a good film former, which could produce glass fiber yarn with high breaking strength (i.e. 4156 cN for 68 tex).

Key words: rice bran, sizing, film-forming agent, glass fiber
