Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
An aqueous dispersion coating composition consisting essentially of an epoxy powder paint and a water carrier wherein the water carrier has dissolved therein a water soluble nonionic surfactant in an amount ranging from about 0.01 to about 10% by weight (PBW) of the dry epoxy material and a dispersing agent in an amount from about 0.01 to 10 PBW of the dry epoxy material, wherein the pigment volume concentration of the coating composition is at least 10.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
An aqueous dispersion coating composition consisting essentially of an epoxy powder paint and a water carrier wherein the water carrier has dissolved therein a water soluble nonionic surfactant in an amount ranging from about 0.01 to about 10% by weight (PBW) of the dry epoxy material and a dispersing agent in an amount from about 0.01 to 10 PBW of the dry epoxy material, wherein the pigment volume concentration of the coating composition is at least 10.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
