Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A method of photolytically developing walnut wood color on a wood sample, which comprises treating the sample by contacting the surface area thereof with an acidic solution comprising water and a salt of an aminobenzenesulfonyl azide of the formula ##STR4## wherein R is H, a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group or a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, and exposing the treated sample to a light source to thereby develop a walnut color on the sample.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
77 words
A method of photolytically developing walnut wood color on a wood sample, which comprises treating the sample by contacting the surface area thereof with an acidic solution comprising water and a salt of an aminobenzenesulfonyl azide of the formula ##STR4## wherein R is H, a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group or a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, and exposing the treated sample to a light source to thereby develop a walnut color on the sample.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the solution contains from 0.001 to 10 grams of the salt per 100 ml of water.
