Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 71 words
A polymer composition of the class consisting of chlorinated polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride which polymer has a chlorine content of 10 to 75 per cent and is compounded with 1 to 25 parts of zinc borate (2ZnO.3B 2 O 3 . 3.5 H 2 O) and 6 to 150 parts of Al 2 O 3 .3H 2 O which act synergistically as a smoke suppressant when the polymer composition is burned.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 71 words
A polymer composition of the class consisting of chlorinated polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride which polymer has a chlorine content of 10 to 75 per cent and is compounded with 1 to 25 parts of zinc borate (2ZnO.3B 2 O 3 . 3.5 H 2 O) and 6 to 150 parts of Al 2 O 3 .3H 2 O which act synergistically as a smoke suppressant when the polymer composition is burned.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The polymer composition of claim 1 which contains 1 to 5 parts of said zinc borate and 6 to 30 parts of said aluminum oxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 12 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the polymer is chlorinated polyethylene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 12 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the polymer is rigid polyvinylchloride.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 12 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the polymer is flexible polyvinylchloride.
