Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim
24 words
A composition comprising a blend of about 20-55 parts by weight of nylon, and, correspondingly, about 80-45 parts by weight of cured epichlorohydrin rubber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
24 words
A composition comprising a blend of about 20-55 parts by weight of nylon, and, correspondingly, about 80-45 parts by weight of cured epichlorohydrin rubber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
