Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A process for making a thick-walled laminated tube for blow-forming into a laminated moulded container which comprises the step of simultaneously melt extruding i. a thermoplastic polymer comprising a homogeneous copolymer of acrylonitrile in a molar unit concentration of from 86% to 90% and styrene, with ii. another thermoplastic polymer, so as to produce a laminated moulded container said polymers being melt-extruded into a tubular laminate suitable for blow-forming into a laminated moulded container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
74 words
A process for making a thick-walled laminated tube for blow-forming into a laminated moulded container which comprises the step of simultaneously melt extruding i. a thermoplastic polymer comprising a homogeneous copolymer of acrylonitrile in a molar unit concentration of from 86% to 90% and styrene, with ii. another thermoplastic polymer, so as to produce a laminated moulded container said polymers being melt-extruded into a tubular laminate suitable for blow-forming into a laminated moulded container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the homogeneous copolymer is used as a blend with a compatible graft copolymer having a diene rubber substrate, the rubber content of the blend being less than 50% by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 2 in which the rubber content of the blend used is between 5 and 15% by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process according to claim 1 in which one of the polymers melt-extruded is polyethylene.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A package when formed from a laminate made by a process according to claim 1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
A simultaneous melt-extruded laminate for packaging comprising at least two different thermoplastic polymers, one of which comprises a homogeneous copolymer of acrylonitrile and styrene the molar concentration of units of acrylonitrile being within the range 86% to 93%.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
A simultaneous melt-extruded laminate for packaging comprising at least two different thermoplastic polymers, one of which comprises a homogeneous copolymer of acrylonitrile and styrene the molar concentration of units of acrylonitrile being within the range 86% to 93%.
