Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 89 words
In an acrylic resin latex based sealant composition, the improvement which comprises introducing about 0.1 to about 10 weight % of an hydrophobic resin dissolved in about 2 to about 20 weight % of a liquid organic, non-coagulating, non-gelling solvent into said acrylic resin latex together with an aqueous solution of about 0.5 to about 5.0 weight % of an hydrolyzed organoaminosilane containing sufficient base to maintain a pH of at least 8.5, with the proviso that the total weight of the components including the acrylic latex equals 100%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 89 words
In an acrylic resin latex based sealant composition, the improvement which comprises introducing about 0.1 to about 10 weight % of an hydrophobic resin dissolved in about 2 to about 20 weight % of a liquid organic, non-coagulating, non-gelling solvent into said acrylic resin latex together with an aqueous solution of about 0.5 to about 5.0 weight % of an hydrolyzed organoaminosilane containing sufficient base to maintain a pH of at least 8.5, with the proviso that the total weight of the components including the acrylic latex equals 100%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 72 words
Composition claimed in claim 1 wherein the organoaminosilane is represented by the graphic formula: ##STR3## wherein R° is selected from the group consisting of alkyl having about 1-4 carbons, aryl having about 6-10 carbons and alkaryl groups having about 7-10 carbons, y=0 or 1; v is an integer having values of 1 to 6; z is an integer having values of from 0 to 2 inclusive; and X=alkoxy radicals having 1-6 carbons.

Claim 12
Dependent Claim 10 words
Composition claimed in claim 1 wherein the organoaminosilane is gamma-aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 10 words
Composition claimed in claim 1 wherein the organoaminosilane is delta-aminobutylmethyldiethoxysilane.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 12 words
Composition claimed in claim 1 wherein the organic solvent is dibutyl phthalate.
