Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 61 words
A flame-resistant polyurethane foam prepared by a process which comprises treating a polyurethane foam with a mixture of (a) a polychloroprene latex containing from 1 to 7% by weight of carboxylic acid units chemically incorporated by polymerization and (b) a flame-resistant amount of aluminum hydroxide and cross linking the latex with a cross-linking agent consisting of zinc oxide or magnesium oxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 61 words
A flame-resistant polyurethane foam prepared by a process which comprises treating a polyurethane foam with a mixture of (a) a polychloroprene latex containing from 1 to 7% by weight of carboxylic acid units chemically incorporated by polymerization and (b) a flame-resistant amount of aluminum hydroxide and cross linking the latex with a cross-linking agent consisting of zinc oxide or magnesium oxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 34 words
A process for the production of a flame-resistant polyurethane foam as claimed in claim 1, wherein the polyurethane foam is treated with from 0.1-8 times its quantity of said mixture, calculated as solid content.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 24 words
A process as claimed in claim 2 wherein the treatment of the polyurethane foam is carried out by spraying the foam with said mixture.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
A process as claimed in claim 2, wherein the mixture contains from 5-15 parts by weight of zinc oxide or magnesium oxide, based on 100 parts by weight of the dry content of rubber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
A process as claimed in claim 2, wherein from 1-3 mol of zinc oxide or magnesium oxide are used per mol of carboxyl groups for cross-linking the polychloroprene latex.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 26 words
A process as claimed in claim 2, wherein the polychloroprene latex contains from 3 to 5% by weight of carboxylic acid units incorporated therein by polymerization.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 30 words
A process as claimed in claim 2, wherein from 5-30% by weight of a halogenated hydrocarbon and/or from 5-30% by weight of antimony-III oxide are added to the polychloroprene latex.
