Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A water soluble polymer product formed by reacting the reactants consisting essentially of a linear, substantial water insoluble polyethyleneimine having at least about 90 percent of the amino groups therein in the form of free secondary amino groups, a polyvinyl alcohol and a C 1 -C 2 aldehyde to form a single polymer product of said three reactants, said molar ratio of linear polyethyleneimine to polyvinyl alcohol to aldehyde being reacted is from about 1:0.1:0.1 to 1:10:10.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A water soluble polymer product formed by reacting the reactants consisting essentially of a linear, substantial water insoluble polyethyleneimine having at least about 90 percent of the amino groups therein in the form of free secondary amino groups, a polyvinyl alcohol and a C 1 -C 2 aldehyde to form a single polymer product of said three reactants, said molar ratio of linear polyethyleneimine to polyvinyl alcohol to aldehyde being reacted is from about 1:0.1:0.1 to 1:10:10.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The product of claim 1 wherein the polyvinyl alcohol is at least 75 mole percent hydrolyzed polymer having a weight average molecular weight of from 1,500 to 150,000 and the aldehyde is formaldehyde.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
The product of claim 1 wherein the linear polyethyleneimine has a weight average molecular weight of from about 2,500 to 100,000, the polyvinyl alcohol is at least 90 percent hydrolyzed having a weight average molecular weight of from 1,500 to 50,000 and the aldehyde is formaldehyde.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The product of claim 1 wherein the molar ratio of linear polyethyleneimine to polyvinyl alcohol to aldehyde is from 1:0.2:0.2 to 1:3:3.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The product of claim 3 wherein the molar ratio of linear polyethyleneimine to polyvinyl alcohol to aldehyde is from 1:0.2:0.2 to 1:3:3.
