Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A method of manufacturing a building product comprising the steps of mixing together a mineral filler, glass fiber and a polyester resin into a mixture, forming said mixture into an uncured formed solid mass and applying a film of fluoroplastic material having one side treated for adhereability and the other side heat sealable or releasable, to at least one face of the unsecured solid mass with said one side in contact with said face, and pressing said film into contact with said face during heat curing of the resin in a mold.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
92 words
A method of manufacturing a building product comprising the steps of mixing together a mineral filler, glass fiber and a polyester resin into a mixture, forming said mixture into an uncured formed solid mass and applying a film of fluoroplastic material having one side treated for adhereability and the other side heat sealable or releasable, to at least one face of the unsecured solid mass with said one side in contact with said face, and pressing said film into contact with said face during heat curing of the resin in a mold.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
