Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
53 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said fabric is padded to about a 92 to 97 percent wet pick-up weight based on the dry weight of said fabric and after drying said fabric has deposited thereon from about 2 to 3 percent dry solids pick-up based on the dry weight of said fabric.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the polyalkylene ether polyol is the reaction product of propylene oxide and a trihydric alcohol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the poly-alkylene ether polyol is the reaction product of propylene oxide and trimethylolpropane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said prepolymer is chain-extended with about 1.0 equivalent of a chain-extending agent being selected from the group consisting of (1) an organic compound having at least two active hydrogen atoms and (2) a mixture of an organic compound having at least two active hydrogen atoms and an organic compound having one active hydrogen atoM.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 5 wherein the prepolymer is chain-extended with a 2-methylpiperazine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
65 words
The method of claim 5 wherein said prepolymer is prepared by the reaction of an organic diisocyanate with a poly-alkylene ether polyol having a functionality greater than two and an equivalent weight of at least 500 to about 2,500, and said chain-extending agent is said mixture which contains from 0.05 to 0.5 equivalent per isocyanate equivalent of an organic compound having one active hydrogen atom.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 7 wherein the organic diisocyanate is tolylene diisocyanate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 7 wherein the polyalkylene ether polyol is prepared from propylene oxide and trimethylolpropane.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 7 wherein the organic compound having one active hydrogen atom is ethoxylated octylphenol.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 7 wherein the organic compound having at least two active hydrogen atoms is 2-methylpiperazine.
