Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
56 words
An aerosol propellant composition consisting essentially of monochlorodifluoromethane and dimethyl ether where the monochlorodifluoromethane to dimethylether weight ratio is from 50:50 to 30:70, in admixture with a hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of butane and isobutane and mixtures thereof said composition having a vapor pressure in the range of about 50-60 psig at 70° F.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
56 words
An aerosol propellant composition consisting essentially of monochlorodifluoromethane and dimethyl ether where the monochlorodifluoromethane to dimethylether weight ratio is from 50:50 to 30:70, in admixture with a hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of butane and isobutane and mixtures thereof said composition having a vapor pressure in the range of about 50-60 psig at 70° F.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the hydrocarbon is insobutane and the components of the composition are as set forth in FIG. 1 for compositions having a vapor pressure of 50-60 psig at 70° F.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the hydrocarbon is butane as the components of the composition are as set forth in FIG. 2 for compositions having a vapor pressure of 50-60 psig at 70° F.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
An aerosol propellant composition consisting essentially of an azeotrope of monochlorodifluoromethane and dimethyl ether in a 40/60 weight ratio in admixture with a hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of butane and isobutane and mixtures thereof, the proportion of the azeotrope to hydrocarbon being such that the vapor pressure of the mixture is in the range of about 50-60 psig at 70° F.
