Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
40 words
A water-in-oil type emulsion explosive containing an aqueous oxidizer solution, an oily material, an emulsifier, and hollow microspheres; wherein said oily material which forms a continuous phase of said emulsion comprises a mixture of an oil component and petroleum resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
40 words
A water-in-oil type emulsion explosive containing an aqueous oxidizer solution, an oily material, an emulsifier, and hollow microspheres; wherein said oily material which forms a continuous phase of said emulsion comprises a mixture of an oil component and petroleum resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
The water-in-oil type emulsion explosive of claim 1, comprising 50 to 95% by wt of the aqueous oxidizer solution, 1 to 10% by wt of the oily material, 0.5 to 7% by wt of the emulsifier and 0.5 to 20% by wt of hollow microspheres of said water-in-oil type emulsion explosive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The water-in-oil type emulsion explosive of claim 1, wherein the molecular weight of said petroleum resin is 1,000 to 1,400.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The water-in-oil type emulsion explosive of claim 1, wherein the amount of said petroleum resin is 1 to 70% by weight of the amount of said oily material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The water-in-oil type emulsion explosive of claim 1, wherein said oil component contains more than 30% by weight of a component which does not form an adduct with urea.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The water-in-oil type emulsion explosive of claim 1, wherein the amount of said emulsifier is 2.5 to 7% by weight of the total amount of said water-in-oil type emulsion explosive.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
96 words
A water-in-oil type emulsion explosive containing: 50 to 95% by weight of an aqueous oxidizer solution, 1 to 10% by weight of an oily material, 2.5 to 7% by weight of sorbitan mono-oleate as an emulsifier, and 0.5 to 20% by weight of hollow glass microspheres; wherein said oily material which forms a continuous phase of said emulsion comprises a mixture of an oil component containing more than 30% by weight of a component which does not form an adduct with urea and a C 5 -petroleum resin having a molecular weight of 1,000 to 1,400.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
96 words
A water-in-oil type emulsion explosive containing: 50 to 95% by weight of an aqueous oxidizer solution, 1 to 10% by weight of an oily material, 2.5 to 7% by weight of sorbitan mono-oleate as an emulsifier, and 0.5 to 20% by weight of hollow glass microspheres; wherein said oily material which forms a continuous phase of said emulsion comprises a mixture of an oil component containing more than 30% by weight of a component which does not form an adduct with urea and a C 5 -petroleum resin having a molecular weight of 1,000 to 1,400.
