Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A tin plating brightening composition comprising; from about 0.5 to about 25 percent by weight of a primary tin brightener, said primary tin brightener being a disubstituted naphthalene having at least one substituted aldehyde group thereon, with said remaining group other than an aldehyde group being selected from the group consisting of methyl, hydyroxy methyl, and carboxyl; and, from about 1 to about 97 percent by weight of a compound selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or their bath soluble salt, and combinations thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A tin plating brightening composition comprising; from about 0.5 to about 25 percent by weight of a primary tin brightener, said primary tin brightener being a disubstituted naphthalene having at least one substituted aldehyde group thereon, with said remaining group other than an aldehyde group being selected from the group consisting of methyl, hydyroxy methyl, and carboxyl; and, from about 1 to about 97 percent by weight of a compound selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or their bath soluble salt, and combinations thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
The tin plating brightening composition according to claim 1, including from about 1 to about 96 percent by weight of at least one emulsifying agent selected from the group consisting of nonionic, modified nonionic, cationic, anionic, and amphoteric emulsifying agents, and combinations thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The tin plating brightening composition according to claim 2, including from about 1 to about 80 percent by weight of a solvent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The tin plating brightening composition according to claim 3, wherein said remaining substituted group is carboxyl.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The mixture according to claim 4, wherein said emulsifying agent is selected from the group consisting of a nonionic and a modified nonionic emulsifying agent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The mixture according to claim 5, wherein said acid is methacrylic acid, or its bath soluble salt.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
69 words
An aqueous acid electroplating bath containing stannous ions and sulfuric acid for producing electrodeposits of tin, comprising: from about 0.005 to about 0.5 grams per liter of bath solution of a primary brightener, said primary brightener being a disubstituted naphthalene having at least one substituted aldehyde group thereon, with said remaining group other than said aldehyde group being selected from the group consisting of methyl, hydroxy methyl, and carboxyl.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
69 words
An aqueous acid electroplating bath containing stannous ions and sulfuric acid for producing electrodeposits of tin, comprising: from about 0.005 to about 0.5 grams per liter of bath solution of a primary brightener, said primary brightener being a disubstituted naphthalene having at least one substituted aldehyde group thereon, with said remaining group other than said aldehyde group being selected from the group consisting of methyl, hydroxy methyl, and carboxyl.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
51 words
An aqueous acid electroplating bath according to claim 7, wherein the amount of the stannous ions is from about 10 grams to about 100 grams per liter of bath solution and wherein the amount of sulfuric acid is from about 50 to about 260 grams per liter of said bath solution.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
42 words
The bath according to claim 8, including from about 2 to about 40 grams per liter of an emulsifying agent, said emulsifying agent is selected from the group consisting of nonionic, modified nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric emulsifying agents, and combinations thereof.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
32 words
The bath according to claim 9, including from about 0.02 to about 5 grams per liter of a compound selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and combinations thereof.
