Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A COMPOSITION USEFUL AS A COATING OR ADHESIVE CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF AN AQUEOUS DISPERSION OF: A. FROM ABOUT 25 TO ABOUT 95 WEIGHT PERCENT OF RESIN SOLIDS OF COPOLYMER OF ETHYLENE AND ACRYLIC ACID, WHEREIN THE ACRYLIC ACID CONSTITUTES ABOUT 18% OF 24% OF THE COPOLYMER, SAID COPOLYMER BEING DISSOLVED IN AQUEOUS AMMONIUM HYDRXIDE TO FORM AN AMMONIUM SALT OR IONOMER SOLUTION OR DISPERSION. B. FROM ABOUT 5 TO ABOUT 75 WEIGHT PERCENT OF RESIN SOLIDS OF A WATER DSPERSIBLE HEAT REACTABLE, RESOL, A-STAGE TYPE PHENOLIC RESIN, ESSENTIALLY FREE OF UNREACTED PHENOL AND CONTAINING A SUBSTANITAL AMOUNT OF TRIMETHYLOLPHENOL.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

FROM ABOUT 25 TO ABOUT 95 WEIGHT PERCENT OF RESIN SOLIDS OF COPOLYMER OF ETHYLENE AND ACRYLIC ACID, WHEREIN THE ACRYLIC ACID CONSTITUTES ABOUT 18% OF 24% OF THE COPOLYMER, SAID COPOLYMER BEING DISSOLVED IN AQUEOUS AMMONIUM HYDRXIDE TO FORM AN AMMONIUM SALT OR IONOMER SOLUTION OR DISPERSION. B. FROM ABOUT 5 TO ABOUT 75 WEIGHT PERCENT OF RESIN SOLIDS OF A WATER DSPERSIBLE HEAT REACTABLE, RESOL, A-STAGE TYPE PHENOLIC RESIN, ESSENTIALLY FREE OF UNREACTED PHENOL AND CONTAINING A SUBSTANITAL AMOUNT OF TRIMETHYLOLPHENOL.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A composition as in claim 1 including an ethylene-methacrylic acid ionomer, said ionomer containing at least 75 percent ethylene and constituting not more than 60 percent of the total resin solids.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A composition as in claim 1 including an ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer or ethylene-vinylacetate-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid terpolymer containing at least 20 percent ethylene and constituting not more than 75 percent of the total resin solids.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
114 words
A composition for the application as coatings or adhesives consisting of an aqueous dispersion of: a. from about 25 to about 95 weight percent of resin solids of a copolymer of ethylene and an acid selected from the group comprising acrylic and methacrylic acids, wherein the acid constitutes about 18 to 24 percent of the copolymer; said copolymer being dissolved in aqueous solution of a water soluble volatile alkali to form an alkali salt or ionomer solution or dispersion; b. from about 5 to about 75 weight percent of resin solids of a water dispersible, heat reactable, resol, A-stage type phenolic resin, essentially free of unreacted phenol and containing a substantial amount of trimethylolphenol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
114 words
A composition for the application as coatings or adhesives consisting of an aqueous dispersion of: a. from about 25 to about 95 weight percent of resin solids of a copolymer of ethylene and an acid selected from the group comprising acrylic and methacrylic acids, wherein the acid constitutes about 18 to 24 percent of the copolymer; said copolymer being dissolved in aqueous solution of a water soluble volatile alkali to form an alkali salt or ionomer solution or dispersion; b. from about 5 to about 75 weight percent of resin solids of a water dispersible, heat reactable, resol, A-stage type phenolic resin, essentially free of unreacted phenol and containing a substantial amount of trimethylolphenol.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A composition as in claIm 4 including an ethylene-methacrylic acid ionomer, said ionomer containing at least 75 percent ethylene and constituting not more than 60 percent of the total resin solids.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
A composition as in claim 4 including an ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer or ethylene-vinylacetate-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid terpolymer containing at least 20 percent ethylene and constituting not more than 75 percent of the total resin solids.
