Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A water-soluble, sulfonated polyester, comprising the polycondensation product of a mixture of dicarboxylic compounds consisting essentially of: a. an aromatic diacid or one of its diesters selected from the group consisting of isophthalic and terephtalic acids and the methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl diesters thereof, and b. an unsaturated aliphatic diacid or anhydride or diester thereof selected from the group consisting of maleic, fumaric, and itaconic acids, the anhydrides thereof, and the methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl diesters thereof the molar ratio of said aliphatic unsaturated diacid to said mixture of dicarboxylic compounds being comprised between 0.1 and 0.5; with c. a saturated glycol selected from the group consisting of ethyleneglycol and di-, tri-, tetra-, and penta ethylene-glycol, propyleneglycol and butyleneglycol said condensation product being sulfonated by the quantitative addition of sodium bisulfite or metabisulfite onto the unsaturated aliphatic chains thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A water-soluble, sulfonated polyester, comprising the polycondensation product of a mixture of dicarboxylic compounds consisting essentially of: a. an aromatic diacid or one of its diesters selected from the group consisting of isophthalic and terephtalic acids and the methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl diesters thereof, and b. an unsaturated aliphatic diacid or anhydride or diester thereof selected from the group consisting of maleic, fumaric, and itaconic acids, the anhydrides thereof, and the methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl diesters thereof the molar ratio of said aliphatic unsaturated diacid to said mixture of dicarboxylic compounds being comprised between 0.1 and 0.5; with c. a saturated glycol selected from the group consisting of ethyleneglycol and di-, tri-, tetra-, and penta ethylene-glycol, propyleneglycol and butyleneglycol said condensation product being sulfonated by the quantitative addition of sodium bisulfite or metabisulfite onto the unsaturated aliphatic chains thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
108 words
A water-soluble, sulfonated polyester comprising: the polycondensation product of a mixture of dicarboxylic compounds consisting essentially of: a. an aromatic diacid or one of its diesters selected from the group consisting of isophthalic and terephthalic acids and the methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl diesters thereof, and b. a diester of sodio-sulfosuccinic acid selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, ethyleneglycol and diethyleneglycol diesters. the molar ratio of the diester of sodio-sulfosuccinic acid to the mixture of dicarboxylic compounds being comprised between 0.1 and 0.5; with c. a saturated glycol selected from the group consisting of ethyleneglycol and di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentaethyleneglycol, propyleneglycol and butyleneglycol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
108 words
A water-soluble, sulfonated polyester comprising: the polycondensation product of a mixture of dicarboxylic compounds consisting essentially of: a. an aromatic diacid or one of its diesters selected from the group consisting of isophthalic and terephthalic acids and the methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl diesters thereof, and b. a diester of sodio-sulfosuccinic acid selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, ethyleneglycol and diethyleneglycol diesters. the molar ratio of the diester of sodio-sulfosuccinic acid to the mixture of dicarboxylic compounds being comprised between 0.1 and 0.5; with c. a saturated glycol selected from the group consisting of ethyleneglycol and di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentaethyleneglycol, propyleneglycol and butyleneglycol.
