Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
A PROCESS OF METHLOLATING MELAMINE WHICH COMPRISES REACTING MELAMINE WITH FORMALDEHYDE AT A PH OF FROM ABOUT 7 TO ABOUT 9.5 IN A REACTION MIXTURE CONTAINING AT LEAST ABOUT 6.5 MOLES OF FORMALDEHYDE PER MOLE OF MELAMINE AND FROM ABOUT 4 TO ABOUT 12 MOLES OF METHANOL PER MOLE OF MELAMINE.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
A PROCESS OF METHLOLATING MELAMINE WHICH COMPRISES REACTING MELAMINE WITH FORMALDEHYDE AT A PH OF FROM ABOUT 7 TO ABOUT 9.5 IN A REACTION MIXTURE CONTAINING AT LEAST ABOUT 6.5 MOLES OF FORMALDEHYDE PER MOLE OF MELAMINE AND FROM ABOUT 4 TO ABOUT 12 MOLES OF METHANOL PER MOLE OF MELAMINE.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
97 words
A PROCESS OF PRODUCING SUBSTANTIALLY HEXAKIS(METHOXYMETHYL)MELAMINE WHICH COMPRISES REACTING MELAMINE WITH FORMALDEHYDE BY HEATING A REACTION MIXTURE COMPRISING FROM ABOUT 4.5 TO ABOUT 6 MOLES OF METHANOL AND FROM ABOUT 9 TO 11 MOLES OF OFRMALDEHYDE PER MOLE OF MELAMINE AT A PH BETWEEN ABOUT 7 AND ABOUT 9.5 TO FORM A CLEAR SOLUTION, MAINTAINING SAID PH UNTIL A PRECIPITATE IS FORMED, ADDING MORE METHANOL TO PROVIDE AT LEAST ABOUT 20 MOLES OF METHANOL PER MOLE OF MELAMINE, ADJUSTING THE PH TO BETWEEN ABOUT 1 AND ABOUT 3, AND HEATING UNTIL THE REACTION MASS IS ESSENTIALLY CLEAR.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
