Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
An aqueous emulsion consisting essentially of: (a) about 30 to about 75 weight percent, based on the total weight of the emulsion, of (i) an emulsified liquid epoxy resin or (ii) an emulsified liquid solution containing a total weight of epoxy resin from about 30 to about 75 percent of the total weight of the emulsion and an organic solvent therefor; (b) about 1 to about 5 weight percent, based on the weight of the epoxy resin, of mineral oil; (c) about 5 to about 12 weight percent, based on the weight of the epoxy resin, of predominantly non-ionic surfactant for emulsifying the epoxy resin or solution thereof and the mineral oil; (d) about 0.5 to about 5 weight percent, based on the weight of the epoxy resin, of an anti-static agent and (e) water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
An aqueous emulsion consisting essentially of: (a) about 30 to about 75 weight percent, based on the total weight of the emulsion, of (i) an emulsified liquid epoxy resin or (ii) an emulsified liquid solution containing a total weight of epoxy resin from about 30 to about 75 percent of the total weight of the emulsion and an organic solvent therefor; (b) about 1 to about 5 weight percent, based on the weight of the epoxy resin, of mineral oil; (c) about 5 to about 12 weight percent, based on the weight of the epoxy resin, of predominantly non-ionic surfactant for emulsifying the epoxy resin or solution thereof and the mineral oil; (d) about 0.5 to about 5 weight percent, based on the weight of the epoxy resin, of an anti-static agent and (e) water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
An aqueous emulsion according to claim 1 wherein said non-ionic surfactant comprises a major proportion by weight of material having an HLB index of about 2 to about 7 and a minor proportion by weight of material having an HLB index of about 15 to about 20.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
An aqueous emulsion according to claim 2 wherein said non-ionic surfactant further comprises a minor proportion by weight of methylcellulose.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
57 words
An aqueous emulsion according to claim 1 wherein said non-ionic surfactant comprises a major proportion by weight of a C.sub.≧6 -alkylaryloxypoly(C 2-4 -alkoxy)-C 2-4 -alkanol having HLB index from about 2 to about 7 and a minor proportion by weight of a C.sub.≧6 -alkylaryloxypoly(C 2-4 -alkoxy)-C 2-4 -alkanol having HLB index from about 15 to about 20.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
An aqueous emulsion according to claim 4 wherein said surfactant further comprises a minor proportion by weight of methylcellulose.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
An aqueous emulsion according to claim 1 wherein said epoxy resin is characterized by an epoxy equivalent weight not greater than about 250.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
An aqueous emulsion according to claim 6 wherein said epoxy resin is a glycidylether-termintaed adduct of a bisphenol and an epihalohydrin.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
An aqueous composition according to claim 4 wherein said epoxy resin is characterized by an epoxy equivalent weight not greater than about 250.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
21 words
An aqueous emulsion according to claim 8 wherein said epoxy resin is a glycidylether-terminated adduct of a bisphenol and an epihalohydrin.
