Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A resin composition comprising: an organic resin selected from the group consisting of polyester, vinylester and mixtures thereof, an organic halogenated flame retardant incorporated within said organic resin so that halogen atoms are bonded to said organic resin in an amount sufficient to impart flame retardancy to said organic resin, and a synergistic smoke suppressive filler of calcium carbonate and alumina trihydrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
A resin composition comprising: an organic resin selected from the group consisting of polyester, vinylester and mixtures thereof, an organic halogenated flame retardant incorporated within said organic resin so that halogen atoms are bonded to said organic resin in an amount sufficient to impart flame retardancy to said organic resin, and a synergistic smoke suppressive filler of calcium carbonate and alumina trihydrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
