Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
50 words
A primer composition adaptable to application to a painted surface to improve the adhesion of a sealant composition to said surface, said composition comprising a solution, in a volatile solvent, of an hydroxy functional film forming and at least 0.25 percent of a strong acid, by weight of said resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
50 words
A primer composition adaptable to application to a painted surface to improve the adhesion of a sealant composition to said surface, said composition comprising a solution, in a volatile solvent, of an hydroxy functional film forming and at least 0.25 percent of a strong acid, by weight of said resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A composition as in claim 1 wherein said strong acid is an organic sulfonic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
