Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A process for preparing an extruded, pelleted molding composition for use in environmentally sensitive packaging applications which comprises: (a) dry blending a styrenic polymer containing free styrene monomer with about 0.005 to about 2 percent by weight of myrcene based on the weight of the styrenic polymer, wherein the styrenic polymer comprises at least about 10 percent by weight of polymerized styrene; (b) melting and extruding the resulting blend; and then (c) pelletizing the extrudate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A process for preparing an extruded, pelleted molding composition for use in environmentally sensitive packaging applications which comprises: (a) dry blending a styrenic polymer containing free styrene monomer with about 0.005 to about 2 percent by weight of myrcene based on the weight of the styrenic polymer, wherein the styrenic polymer comprises at least about 10 percent by weight of polymerized styrene; (b) melting and extruding the resulting blend; and then (c) pelletizing the extrudate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the styrenic polymer comprises about 10 to about 50 percent by weight of polymerized styrene and about 90 to about 50 percent by weight polymerized acrylonitrile.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the styrenic polymer comprises at least about 50 percent by weight of polymerized acrylonitrile.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process of claims 1, 2 or 3 wherein the styrenic polymer further contains about 0 to 25 percent by weight of a synthetic or natural rubber component.
