Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A resin composition adapted to maintain the rigidity of an encapsulated system, said composition comprising: (a) an unsaturated polyester resin composition; (b) from about 100 to about 400 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of (a), (c) and (d) of calcium carbonate; (c) from about 0.1 to about 1.0 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total composition of a relatively weak acid which is capable of reacting with calcium carbonate in the presence of water to generate carbon dioxide; and (d) about 1 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total composition of water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
A resin composition adapted to maintain the rigidity of an encapsulated system, said composition comprising: (a) an unsaturated polyester resin composition; (b) from about 100 to about 400 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of (a), (c) and (d) of calcium carbonate; (c) from about 0.1 to about 1.0 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total composition of a relatively weak acid which is capable of reacting with calcium carbonate in the presence of water to generate carbon dioxide; and (d) about 1 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total composition of water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A composition as defined in claim 1, wherein calcium carbonate, component (b), comprises from about 100 to about 300 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of components (a), (c) and (d).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
A composition as defined in claim 1, wherein the concentration of the acid, component (c), is between about 0.1 and about 1.0 parts by weight and the concentration of water (d) is not substantially greater than about 1 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A composition as defined in claim 1 wherein the relatively weak acid is an organic acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A composition as defined in claim 1 wherein the relatively weak acid is phthalic acid.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
50 words
An encapsulated multicompartment system for mine roof bolting containing in one compartment a resin composition as defined in claim 1 and sufficient carbon dioxide generated in situ to provide internal rigidity in the compartment, and containing in a second compartment an organic hardener or catalyst reactive with said resin composition.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
An encapsulated multicompartment system as defined in claim 6 wherein the calcium carbonate, component (b) of the resin composition, comprises from about 100 to about 300 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of components (a), (c) and (d).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
55 words
An encapsulated multicompartment system as defined in claim 6 wherein the concentration of the acid, component (c) of the resin composition, is between about 0.1 and about 1.0 parts by weight and the concentration of water is not substantially greater than about one part by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total composition.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
An encapsulated multicompartment system as defined in claim 6 wherein the relatively weak acid, component (c) of the resin composition, is an organic acid.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
23 words
An encapsulated multicompartment system as defined in claim 6 wherein the relatively weak acid, component (c) of the resin composition, is phthalic acid.
