Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A primer composition comprising: a. an aminoplast curing agent produced from the condensation products of amines or amides with an aldehyde; b. a saturated resin which is curable with said aminoplast curing agent to form a thermoset polymer and which is a saturated polyester having hydroxyl functionality, a saturated polyether having hydroxyl functionality or a saturated polyurethane having hydroxyl functionality; and c. a thermoplastic acrylic polymer which (1) is selected from the group consisting of addition polymers of esters of alpha, beta ethylenically unsaturated acids and interpolymers of esters of alpha, beta ethylenically unsaturated acids with other ethylenically unsaturated compounds, (2) is essentially non-curable with said aminoplast curing agent, and (3) after curing of the primer composition, is soluble in solvents in which it was soluble before said curing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
A primer composition comprising: a. an aminoplast curing agent produced from the condensation products of amines or amides with an aldehyde; b. a saturated resin which is curable with said aminoplast curing agent to form a thermoset polymer and which is a saturated polyester having hydroxyl functionality, a saturated polyether having hydroxyl functionality or a saturated polyurethane having hydroxyl functionality; and c. a thermoplastic acrylic polymer which (1) is selected from the group consisting of addition polymers of esters of alpha, beta ethylenically unsaturated acids and interpolymers of esters of alpha, beta ethylenically unsaturated acids with other ethylenically unsaturated compounds, (2) is essentially non-curable with said aminoplast curing agent, and (3) after curing of the primer composition, is soluble in solvents in which it was soluble before said curing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
107 words
A primer composition comprising: a. an aminoplast curing agent produced from the condensation products of amines or amides with aldehydes; b. an oil-free saturated polyester having hydroxyl functionality which is curable with said curing agent to form a thermoset polymer; and c. a thermoplastic acrylic polymer which (1) is selected from the group consisting of addition polymers of esters of alpha-beta ethylenically unsaturated acids and interpolymers of esters of alpha-beta ethylenically unsaturated acids with other ethylenically unsaturated compounds; (2) is essentially non-curable with said aminoplast curing agent; and (3) after curing of the primer composition, is soluble in solvents in which it was soluble before said curing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
107 words
A primer composition comprising: a. an aminoplast curing agent produced from the condensation products of amines or amides with aldehydes; b. an oil-free saturated polyester having hydroxyl functionality which is curable with said curing agent to form a thermoset polymer; and c. a thermoplastic acrylic polymer which (1) is selected from the group consisting of addition polymers of esters of alpha-beta ethylenically unsaturated acids and interpolymers of esters of alpha-beta ethylenically unsaturated acids with other ethylenically unsaturated compounds; (2) is essentially non-curable with said aminoplast curing agent; and (3) after curing of the primer composition, is soluble in solvents in which it was soluble before said curing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The primer composition of claim 2 wherein said aminoplast curing agent is a melamine-formaldehyde resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
The primer composition of claim 2 comprising from about 40 to about 80 percent by weight of said oil-free saturated polyester, from about 5 to about 40 percent by weight of said aminoplast curing agent and from about 2 to about 20 percent by weight of said thermoplastic acrylic polymer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
The primer composition of claim 2 containing an acid catalyst to promote the curing of said oil-free saturated polyester with said aminoplast curing agent.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
66 words
