Abstract
Abstract Water-soluble vinyl addition polymers and gums may be rapidly dissolved in water by first dispersing these polymers into a water-in-oil emulsion and then inverting these emulsions in water. The inversion of the emulsion releases the polymer into water as a solution.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
A method of rapidly dissolving an acrylamide polymer into water, which comprises the steps of: A. preparing a water-in-oil emulsion which contains dispersed therein finely-divided an acrylamide polymer and a compatible water-soluble surfactant; thereby providing an acrylamide polymer containing emulsion; and then, B. inverting said emulsion by adding it to water whereby the acrylamide polymer is released into the water as a solution.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
115 words
A method of rapidly dissolving an acrylamide polymer into water, which comprises the steps of: A. preparing a water-in-oil Emulsion having an oil to water ratio between 5:1- 1:10 which contains dispersed therein from 51- 75 percent by weight of particles ranging in size from 5 millimicrons to 5 millimeters of an acrylamide polymer; and then, B. inverting said acrylamide polymer containing emulsion by adding it in an amount to provide from 0.1- 20 percent by weight of the acrylamide polymer to water which contains from 1.0- 10 percent by weight based on the weight of the acrylamide polymer of a water-soluble surfactant whereby the acrylamide polymer is released into the water as a solution.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
112 words
A method of rapidly dissolving an acrylamide polymer into water which comprises the steps of: A. preparing a water-in-oil emulsion having an oil to water ration between 5:1- 1:10 which contains dispersed therein from 5 - 75 percent by weight of particles ranging in size from 5 millimicrons to 5 millimeters of an acrylamide polymer and from 1.0- 10 percent by weight of the acrylamide polymer of a compatible water-soluble surfactant; and then, B. inverting said acrylamide polymer containing emulsion by adding it in an amount to provide from 0.1- 20 percent by weight of the acrylamide polymer to water whereby the acrylamide polymer is released into the water as a solution.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
103 words
A method of rapidly dissolving an acrylamide polymer into water which comprises the steps of: A. preparing a water-in-oil emulsion which contains dispersed therein from 5 - 75 percent by weight of particles ranging in size from 5 millimicrons to 5 microns of an acrylamide polymer and from 1.0- 10 percent by weight of the acrylamide polymer of a compatible water-soluble surfactant; and then, B. inverting said acrylamide polymer containing emulsion by adding it in an amount to provide from 0.1- 20 percent by weight of the acrylamide polymer to water whereby the acrylamide polymer is released into the water as a solution.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
107 words
