Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
An aqueous release composition comprising (1) a release polymer formed by a polymerizing in parts by weight of (a) from about 40 to about 80 parts of a higher alkyl acrylate ester represented by the formula ##STR2## wherein R' is hydrogen or methyl, and R" is a straight chain hydrocarbon radical of from about 12 to 24 carbon atoms, (b) from about 5 to about 30 parts of a carboxyl supplying monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, half esters of maleic acid, itaconic acid and fumaric acid, (c) from about 10 to about 45 parts of an acrylate derived hardening monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate; (2) a base; (3) a polar solvent wetting agent, said solvent being employed in an amount less than about 25 percent of the volatile portion of the ultimate composition; and (4) a water-soluble thickening agent said thickening agent being present in such amounts that the viscosity of the release composition does not exceed about 200 centipoises.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
183 words
An aqueous release composition comprising (1) a release polymer formed by a polymerizing in parts by weight of (a) from about 40 to about 80 parts of a higher alkyl acrylate ester represented by the formula ##STR2## wherein R' is hydrogen or methyl, and R" is a straight chain hydrocarbon radical of from about 12 to 24 carbon atoms, (b) from about 5 to about 30 parts of a carboxyl supplying monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, half esters of maleic acid, itaconic acid and fumaric acid, (c) from about 10 to about 45 parts of an acrylate derived hardening monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate; (2) a base; (3) a polar solvent wetting agent, said solvent being employed in an amount less than about 25 percent of the volatile portion of the ultimate composition; and (4) a water-soluble thickening agent said thickening agent being present in such amounts that the viscosity of the release composition does not exceed about 200 centipoises.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the release polymer is a terpolymer copolymerization product of stearyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile and methacrylic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the polymer is present in the range of from about 2 to about 10 percent by weight of the ultimate composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A composition according to claim 1 in which the thickener is employed in an amount of from about 8 to about 28 parts for every 100 parts by weight of the terpolymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the base solubilizing agent is triethylamine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
14 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the wetting agent is methyl ethyl ketone.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the thickening agent is carboxymethylcellulose.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
A composition according to claim 1 in which the thickening agent is a cross-linked acrylic acid polymer emulsion.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the amount of the higher alkyl acrylate ester employed in obtaining the release polymer is from about 50 to about 65 parts per 100 parts of monomer employed.
