Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A process for producing a homogeneous mass of silicone polymer having filler particles dispersed therein, which process comprises mixing said silicone polymer with said filler at elevated temperatures between about 0°F. and about 350°F., in a high-intensity mixer, said mixing being carried out for a period of time sufficient to disperse said filler particles in said silicone polymer such that said polymer becomes a continuous phase with said filler particles dispersed therethrough as the discontinuous phase.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A process for producing a homogeneous mass of silicone polymer having filler particles dispersed therein, which process comprises mixing said silicone polymer with said filler at elevated temperatures between about 0°F. and about 350°F., in a high-intensity mixer, said mixing being carried out for a period of time sufficient to disperse said filler particles in said silicone polymer such that said polymer becomes a continuous phase with said filler particles dispersed therethrough as the discontinuous phase.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein said silicone polymer is an organopolysiloxane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process as in claim 2 wherein said organopolysiloxane is a hologenated dimethylpolysiloxane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
77 words
A process for producing a homogeneous mass of silicone polymer having filler particles dispersed therein, which process comprises mixing said silicone polymer with said filler at elevated temperatures between about 0°F. and about 350°F., in a high-intensity mixer, said mixing being carried out for a period of time sufficient to disperse said filler particles in said silicone polymer such that said silicone polymer becomes a continuous phase with said filler particles dispersed therethrough as the discontinuous phase.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
77 words
A process for producing a homogeneous mass of silicone polymer having filler particles dispersed therein, which process comprises mixing said silicone polymer with said filler at elevated temperatures between about 0°F. and about 350°F., in a high-intensity mixer, said mixing being carried out for a period of time sufficient to disperse said filler particles in said silicone polymer such that said silicone polymer becomes a continuous phase with said filler particles dispersed therethrough as the discontinuous phase.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process as in claim 4 wherein said silicone polymer is an organopolysiloxane.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process as in claim 5 wherein said organopolysiloxane is a halogenated dimethylpolysiloxane.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
104 words
A process for making silicone rubber compound having improved physical properties which process comprises (a) mixing, in a high-intensity mixer, and at elevated temperatures between about 0°F. and 350°F., a silicone polymer with from about 10 to about 100 parts of a reinforcing filler, and from about 15 to about 500 parts of an extending filler, per part of said silicone polymer, said mixing being carried out for a period of time sufficient to disperse said reinforcing filler and said extending filler in said silicone polymer such that said silicone polymer becomes a continuous phase with said fillers dispersed therethrough as discontinuous particulate matters.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
104 words
A process for making silicone rubber compound having improved physical properties which process comprises (a) mixing, in a high-intensity mixer, and at elevated temperatures between about 0°F. and 350°F., a silicone polymer with from about 10 to about 100 parts of a reinforcing filler, and from about 15 to about 500 parts of an extending filler, per part of said silicone polymer, said mixing being carried out for a period of time sufficient to disperse said reinforcing filler and said extending filler in said silicone polymer such that said silicone polymer becomes a continuous phase with said fillers dispersed therethrough as discontinuous particulate matters.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process as in claim 7 wherein said silicone polymer is an organopolysiloxane.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process as in claim 8 wherein said organopolysiloxane is a halogenated dimethylpolysiloxane.
