Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A flame retardant, non-dripping thermoplastic molding composition which comprises: a. a normally flammable copolymer of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene; b. a halogenated flame retardant additive in a minor proportion based on said thermoplastic molding composition but in an amount sufficient to render said thermoplastic composition non-burning or self-extinguishing; and c. a polytetrafluoroethylene resin in a minor proportion based on said thermoplastic molding composition in an amount at least sufficient to render said thermoplastic molding composition non-dripping.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
A flame retardant, non-dripping thermoplastic molding composition which comprises: a. a normally flammable copolymer of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene; b. a halogenated flame retardant additive in a minor proportion based on said thermoplastic molding composition but in an amount sufficient to render said thermoplastic composition non-burning or self-extinguishing; and c. a polytetrafluoroethylene resin in a minor proportion based on said thermoplastic molding composition in an amount at least sufficient to render said thermoplastic molding composition non-dripping.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A flame retardant composition as defined in claim 1 wherein the flame retardant component comprises from 2.0 to 25 parts by weight per hundred parts by weight of the composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A flame retardant composition as defined in claim 2 wherein the polytetrafluoroethylene comprises from 0.1 to 3 parts by weight per hundred parts by weight of composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A flame retardant composition as defined in claim 3 wherein the halogenated flame retardant is a chlorine containing compound.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
69 words
A composition which consists essentially of: a. a normally flammable copolymer of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene; b. a halogenated flame retardant additive in a minor proportion based on said thermoplastic molding composition but in an amount sufficient to render said thermoplastic composition non-burning or self-extinguishing; and c. a polytetrafluoroethylene resin in a minor proportion based on said thermoplastic molding composition in an amount at least sufficient to render said thermoplastic composition non-dripping.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
A composition which consists essentially of: a. a normally flammable copolymer of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene; b. a halogenated flame retardant additive in a minor proportion based on said thermoplastic molding composition but in an amount sufficient to render said thermoplastic composition non-burning or self-extinguishing; and c. a polytetrafluoroethylene resin in a minor proportion based on said thermoplastic molding composition in an amount at least sufficient to render said thermoplastic composition non-dripping.
