Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
In an acrylate or methacrylate-based radiation curable coating composition containing at least 10 weight percent of an oligomeric polyacrylate or polymethacrylate having a molecular weight from 800 to 5,000 and an average of 1 to 8 acrylyl groups per 1,000 molecular weight units, the improvement of having present in said radiation curable coating composition from 0.25 to 9 weight percent of nitrocellulose having a viscosity of 1/4 second to 1/2 second, measured by the falling ball method described in ASTM D301-56(65) and ASTM D1343-56(65), and an average nitrogen content from 10.9 to 12.2 weight percent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
In an acrylate or methacrylate-based radiation curable coating composition containing at least 10 weight percent of an oligomeric polyacrylate or polymethacrylate having a molecular weight from 800 to 5,000 and an average of 1 to 8 acrylyl groups per 1,000 molecular weight units, the improvement of having present in said radiation curable coating composition from 0.25 to 9 weight percent of nitrocellulose having a viscosity of 1/4 second to 1/2 second, measured by the falling ball method described in ASTM D301-56(65) and ASTM D1343-56(65), and an average nitrogen content from 10.9 to 12.2 weight percent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A radiation curable coating composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein said oligomeric polyacrylate or polymethacrylate has a molecular weight from 1,500 to 2,500.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A radiation curable coating composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein there is present from 1 to 3 weight percent of said nitrocellulose.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
A radiation curable coating composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein there is additionally present in the radiation curable coating composition a sufficient amount of phosphoric acid to adjust the pH to between 4.2 and 5.2, measured at a concentration of 10 volume percent of radiation curable coating composition in a 50/50 weight mixture of isopropanol and water.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
A radiation curable coating composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein there is additionally present in the radiation curable coating composition a sufficient amount of phosphoric acid to adjust the pH to between 4.9 and 5.2, measured at a concentration of 10 volume percent of radiation curable coating composition in a 50/50 weight mixture of isopropanol and water.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
A radiation curable coating composition as claimed in claim 4, wherein there is additionally present in the radiation curable coating composition an alkyl alcohol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in an amount from 2.5 to 5 times by weight the amount of phosphoric acid present.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
A radiation curable coating composition as claimed in claim 4, wherein there is additionally present in the radiation curable coating composition an alkyl alcohol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in an amount from 3 to 4 times by weight the amount of phosphoric acid present.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
47 words
A radiation curable coating composition as claimed in claim 5, wherein there is additionally present in the radiation curable coating composition an alkyl alcohol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in an amount from 2.5 to 5 times by weight the amount of phosphoric acid present.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
47 words
A radiation curable coating composition as claimed in claim 5, wherein there is additionally present in the radiation curable coating composition an alkyl alcohol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in an amount from 3 to 4 times by weight the amount of phosphoric acid present.
