Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
A composition of matter having improved resistance to the harmful effects of visible and ultraviolet light comprising a thermally stabilized polypropylene and as a light stabilizer for the composition a furnace carbon black which has been heat treated at a temperature of from about 1200° to about 3000° C. under a non-oxidizing atmosphere, said light stabilizer being present in amounts of from about 0.1 to about 2.0 percent by weight based on the weight of the thermally stabilized polypropylene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
79 words
A composition of matter having improved resistance to the harmful effects of visible and ultraviolet light comprising a thermally stabilized polypropylene and as a light stabilizer for the composition a furnace carbon black which has been heat treated at a temperature of from about 1200° to about 3000° C. under a non-oxidizing atmosphere, said light stabilizer being present in amounts of from about 0.1 to about 2.0 percent by weight based on the weight of the thermally stabilized polypropylene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The composition as defined in claim 1 wherein said light stabilizer is present in amounts of from about 0.25 to about 1.0 percent by weight based on the weight of the thermally stabilized polypropylene.
