Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
A composition vulcanizable by the action of heat which comprises 100 parts by weight of a halogenated polymer of an isoolefin, from about 5 to about 50 parts by weight of a monomeric organic compound and 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of a free radical organic peroxidic curing agent, said halogenated polymer of an isoolefin being a polymer containing, based on hydrocarbon content, from 85 to 99.5 weight percent of an isoolefin having from 4 to 8 carbon atoms and from 0.5 to 15 weight percent of a conjugated diolefin having from 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and having been treated to contain a halogen selected from chlorine and bromine, said halogen being present in said polymer up to 1 atom of chlorine or up to 3 atoms of bromine per carbon-carbon double bond in said polymer, said monomeric organic compound having at least two polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated groups and being curable by said curing agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
157 words
A composition vulcanizable by the action of heat which comprises 100 parts by weight of a halogenated polymer of an isoolefin, from about 5 to about 50 parts by weight of a monomeric organic compound and 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of a free radical organic peroxidic curing agent, said halogenated polymer of an isoolefin being a polymer containing, based on hydrocarbon content, from 85 to 99.5 weight percent of an isoolefin having from 4 to 8 carbon atoms and from 0.5 to 15 weight percent of a conjugated diolefin having from 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and having been treated to contain a halogen selected from chlorine and bromine, said halogen being present in said polymer up to 1 atom of chlorine or up to 3 atoms of bromine per carbon-carbon double bond in said polymer, said monomeric organic compound having at least two polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated groups and being curable by said curing agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The composition of claim 1 in which said monomeric organic compound is an unsaturated polyester formed by reaction of polyhydric alcohols with unsaturated monobasic carboxylic acids or by reaction of unsaturated monohydric alcohols with polybasic carboxylic acids.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The composition of claim 1 in which said monomeric organic compounds is selected from diallyl cyanurate, triallyl cyanurate and divinyl benzene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The composition of claim 2 wherein said unsaturated polyester is selected from ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate, butylene glycol dimethacrylate, trimethylol propane trimethylacrylate and zinc diacrylate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the free radical organic peroxidic curing agent is selected from an organic peroxide, an organic hydroperoxide and an organic perester.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The composition of claim 5 wherein said free radical organic peroxidic curing agent is an organic peroxide selected from the dicumyl peroxide, dibenzoyl peroxide, ditertiary butyl peroxide and lauroyl peroxide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
The composition of claim 1 which has been vulcanized by heating at about 250°F to about 400°F for from about 2 to about 120 minutes.
