Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 26 words
The fire-retardant polyurethane composition of claim 1 wherein the fire-retardant compound is 1-dimethoxyphosphono-1-cyclohexanol and wherein the reaction is conducted in the presence of a blowing agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 33 words
The polyurethane composition of claim 1 wherein fire retardance is improved by adding a halogen-substituted hydrocarbon compound to the reactants and wherein the reaction is conducted in the presence of a blowing agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
The polyurethane foam composition of claim 3 wherein the halogenated compound is 6-(1'',2'',3'',4'',7'',7''-hexachloro-2''-norbornen-5''-yl)-1,2,3,4,9,9-hexachloro -1,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-1,4-methanonaphthalene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words
The polyurethane foam composition of claim 3 wherein fire retardance is improved by adding to the reactants a halogenated monohydroxy compound selected from the group consisting of halogenated aliphatic or halogenated cycloaliphatic monohydroxy compounds and halogenated aromatic monohydroxy compounds.
