Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
A non-aqueous hot melt coating composition consisting of a thermoplastic rubber block copolymer, a polyethylene wax and a low molecular weight resin compatible with the end block of the rubber block copolymer, wherein said composition is a 100 percent solids formulation containing said polyethylene wax in an amount within the range of from about 30 to about 80 weight percent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
A non-aqueous hot melt coating composition consisting of a thermoplastic rubber block copolymer, a polyethylene wax and a low molecular weight resin compatible with the end block of the rubber block copolymer, wherein said composition is a 100 percent solids formulation containing said polyethylene wax in an amount within the range of from about 30 to about 80 weight percent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
The composition of claim 1 in which said block copolymer is a di-block or tri-block copolymer of the type S-R-S wherein S represents a styrenic block and R represents a rubbery block comprising a polyisoprene block, a polybutadiene block or an ethylene-butylene block.
