Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 339 words
A process for the preparation of a modified hydrocarbon resin free from indene suitable for use as a binder in a printing ink from a hydrocarbon resin (I) relatively unsuitable for use as a binder in a printing ink and having a melting point of at most 110° C. which comprises reacting in a first step a starting reactant of: (I) at least one hydrocarbon resin based on hydrocarbon fractions containing: (aa) from 20 to 100 percent by weight, referred to the total of polymerizable monomers, of olefinically unsaturated monomers with an average 5 C-atoms or (bb) a combination thereof with 15 to 50 percent by weight, referred to the total of polymerizable monomers, of methylcyclopentadiene or (Ia) a combination of at least one of (Iaa) and (Ibb) with 1 to 20 percent by weight, referred to the total of I, of at least one olefinically unsaturated monomer hydrocarbon having 2 to 12 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of styrene, α- and β-methylstyrene, vinyltoluenes and a mixture of olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbons having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, the total amount of monomers always being 100% by weight, with (II) 3 to 20% as much by weight of a dicarboxylic acid unit selected from the group consisting of (IIa) an α-,β-olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and (IIb) an equivalent amount of the corresponding dicarboxylic anhydride as defined in (IIa) and in a second step (III) 1 to 100% as much by weight of a phenol component selected from the group consisting of (III) (a) an unsubstituted or substituted by up to 3 hydrocarbon groups phenol aldehyde resin in which however the phenol component is at least bi-functional and (III) (b) a mixture of a phenol and an aldehyde being the same as the starting materials phenol and aldehyde of (IIIa); the portion of (I), (II), and (III) being correlated so that said modified hydrocarbon resin has a melting point of at least 120° C. and a viscosity in 50% toluene solution at 20° C. of at least 100 centipoise.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 339 words
A process for the preparation of a modified hydrocarbon resin free from indene suitable for use as a binder in a printing ink from a hydrocarbon resin (I) relatively unsuitable for use as a binder in a printing ink and having a melting point of at most 110° C. which comprises reacting in a first step a starting reactant of: (I) at least one hydrocarbon resin based on hydrocarbon fractions containing: (aa) from 20 to 100 percent by weight, referred to the total of polymerizable monomers, of olefinically unsaturated monomers with an average 5 C-atoms or (bb) a combination thereof with 15 to 50 percent by weight, referred to the total of polymerizable monomers, of methylcyclopentadiene or (Ia) a combination of at least one of (Iaa) and (Ibb) with 1 to 20 percent by weight, referred to the total of I, of at least one olefinically unsaturated monomer hydrocarbon having 2 to 12 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of styrene, α- and β-methylstyrene, vinyltoluenes and a mixture of olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbons having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, the total amount of monomers always being 100% by weight, with (II) 3 to 20% as much by weight of a dicarboxylic acid unit selected from the group consisting of (IIa) an α-,β-olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and (IIb) an equivalent amount of the corresponding dicarboxylic anhydride as defined in (IIa) and in a second step (III) 1 to 100% as much by weight of a phenol component selected from the group consisting of (III) (a) an unsubstituted or substituted by up to 3 hydrocarbon groups phenol aldehyde resin in which however the phenol component is at least bi-functional and (III) (b) a mixture of a phenol and an aldehyde being the same as the starting materials phenol and aldehyde of (IIIa); the portion of (I), (II), and (III) being correlated so that said modified hydrocarbon resin has a melting point of at least 120° C. and a viscosity in 50% toluene solution at 20° C. of at least 100 centipoise.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 95 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein component (I) or (Ia) is reacted with 4 to 12% as much by weight of component (II) and 3 to 50% as much by weight of component (III); the proportions of (I), (II) and (III) being correlated so that said modified hydrocarbon resin has a melting point of at least 120° C. and a viscosity of at least 100 centipoise and wherein the starting hydrocarbon resin is a resin having a bromine number of between 10 and 120 and a melting point of at most 110° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein a combination of component (I) and component (III) is reacted with component (II).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the reaction of (I) with (II) and (III) is performed in the melt.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 81 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the olefinically unsaturated monomer in combination (Ia) is present in an amount of 1 to 20% by weight, and the amount of the unsaturated dicarboxylic acid unit is 3 to 20% by weight, the amount of the alkylphenol-aldehyde condensate is 1 to 100% by weight, each percentage being referred to the starting hydrocarbon resin and wherein the molar proportion of the unsaturated monomer to the unsaturated dicarboxylic acid unit is (0.5 to 20):1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 16 words
An intaglio printing ink containing a binder obtained by a process as claimed in claim 1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 27 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein component III containing a molar ratio of aldehyde to that of the phenol between 0.9:1 and 5:1 is reacted.
