Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
An adhesive composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a liquid-polybutadiene polymer specimen having an average molecular weight in the range 1,000 to 10,000 and viscosity in the range 2 to 800 dPas at 25°C, 5 to 60 parts by weight of powdered sulphur, 2.5 to 70 parts by weight of an organic accelerator or accelerators, and up to 80 per cent by weight of an inert filler or fillers, characterised in that the liquid polybutadiene polymer specimen has at least 40 per cent of the unsaturation in the 1,4 configuration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
An adhesive composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a liquid-polybutadiene polymer specimen having an average molecular weight in the range 1,000 to 10,000 and viscosity in the range 2 to 800 dPas at 25°C, 5 to 60 parts by weight of powdered sulphur, 2.5 to 70 parts by weight of an organic accelerator or accelerators, and up to 80 per cent by weight of an inert filler or fillers, characterised in that the liquid polybutadiene polymer specimen has at least 40 per cent of the unsaturation in the 1,4 configuration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
An adhesive composition as claimed in Claim 1, characterised in that the said 40 per cent of the unsaturation is in the cis 1,4 configuration.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
An adhesive composition as claimed in Claim 2, characterised in that the liquid polybutadiene polymer specimen has at least 70 per cent of the unsaturation in the cis 1,4 configuration.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
An adhesive composition as claimed in any of Claims 1 to 3, characterised in that the liquid polybutadiene polymer specimen has less than 5 per cent of the unsaturation in the vinyl 1,2 configuration.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
An adhesive composition as claimed in any preceding claim, characterised in that the liquid polybutadiene polymer specimen has substantially the whole of the unsaturation in the 1,4 configuration.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
An adhesive composition as claimed in any of the preceding claims, characterised by the inclusion of a proportion of solid rubber.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
An adhesive composition as claimed in Claim 6, characterised in that the solid rubber content comprises up to 20 parts by weight of solid polybutadiene.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
56 words
A method of joining, or of sealing joints between, components, comprising the steps of forming a joint between portions of the components, characterised by a coating-of an adhesive composition as claimed in any preceding claim on at least a part of each of the joined portions, and heating the coated joint to cure the adhesive composition.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
19 words
A structure characterised by components joined, or with joints between them sealed, by the method claimed in Claim 8.
