Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
Polyesters having a hydroxyl number of from 50 to 400 and containing co-condensed β-hydroxycarboxylic acid units, characterised in that the polyesters contain from 20 to 90% by weight of co-condensed units corresponding to the following formula ##STR2## in which n has an average value of from 1 to 15, and from 80 to 10% by weight of co-condensed residues of polyols and optionally monohydric alcohols, mono- or polycarboxylic acids and diisocyanates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
Polyesters having a hydroxyl number of from 50 to 400 and containing co-condensed β-hydroxycarboxylic acid units, characterised in that the polyesters contain from 20 to 90% by weight of co-condensed units corresponding to the following formula ##STR2## in which n has an average value of from 1 to 15, and from 80 to 10% by weight of co-condensed residues of polyols and optionally monohydric alcohols, mono- or polycarboxylic acids and diisocyanates.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
Polyesters as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that they have a hydroxyl number of from 100 to 350.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
Polyesters as claimed in claim 1 or 2, characterised in that they contain from 40 to 70% by weight of the co-condensed units corresponding to the following formula: ##STR3## and from 60 to 30% by weight of co-condensed residues of polyols and/or monohydric alcohols, mono- or poly-carboxylic acids and diisocyanates.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
Polyesters as claimed in claims 1 or 2, characterised in that n has an average value of from 3 to 9.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
A process for producing the polyesters as claimed in claims 1 or 2, characterised in that poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid and polyols and optionally monohydric alcohols, mono- or poly- carboxylic acids and diisocyanates are transesterified with one another at 150° to 190° C.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
A process as claimed in claim 5, characterised in that, in the first stage of the reaction, poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid is transesterified with polyalcohol after which the reaction mixture obtained is esterified with mono- or poly-carboxylic acids, diisocyanates and/or monohydric alcohols.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
10 words
A lacquer containing the polyester of claims 1 or 2.
