Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 166 words
A method forming an improved dispersant/flow agent for mixtures of finely divided solid materials in liquifiable vehicles comprising the steps of oxidizing a linear unsaturated alpha olefinic hydrocarbon having at least 20 carbon atoms in the linear chain thereof, a melting point of about 70°F. to 200°F. and a terminal carbon to carbon double bond at a temperature of at least 300°F. to an acid number of no greater than about 8 and a saponification number of no greater than about 25, reacting said oxidized hydrocarbon with an amine selected from the group consisting of ammonia, monoethanolamine and mono substituted amine homologs thereof at a temperature less than about 270°F. to produce a modified oxidized hydrocarbon containing less than 0.19% nitrogen by weight thereof, and reacting said modified oxidized hydrocarbon with about 3 to about 9% of an organic isocyanate selected from the group consisting of 2,4 tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6 tolylene diisocyanate, polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate and pp' diphenyl methane diisocyanate at a temperature below about 220°F.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 166 words
A method forming an improved dispersant/flow agent for mixtures of finely divided solid materials in liquifiable vehicles comprising the steps of oxidizing a linear unsaturated alpha olefinic hydrocarbon having at least 20 carbon atoms in the linear chain thereof, a melting point of about 70°F. to 200°F. and a terminal carbon to carbon double bond at a temperature of at least 300°F. to an acid number of no greater than about 8 and a saponification number of no greater than about 25, reacting said oxidized hydrocarbon with an amine selected from the group consisting of ammonia, monoethanolamine and mono substituted amine homologs thereof at a temperature less than about 270°F. to produce a modified oxidized hydrocarbon containing less than 0.19% nitrogen by weight thereof, and reacting said modified oxidized hydrocarbon with about 3 to about 9% of an organic isocyanate selected from the group consisting of 2,4 tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6 tolylene diisocyanate, polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate and pp' diphenyl methane diisocyanate at a temperature below about 220°F.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 8 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim 24 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said alpha olefinic hydrocarbon has 24 or more carbon atoms in the linear chain thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 8 words
The product of the process of claim 3.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 8 words
The product of the process of claim 4.
