Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
36 words
A multilayer coatings system for protecting metal surfaces from corrosion comprising at least one layer of fluoroplastic and activated carbon over a metal surface and at least one layer of fluoroplastic as an outer surface layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
A multilayer coatings system for protecting metal surfaces from corrosion comprising at least one layer of fluoroplastic and activated carbon over a metal surface and at least one layer of fluoroplastic as an outer surface layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A multilayer coatings system for protecting metal surfaces according to claim 1 wherein the fluoroplastic of each layer is a mixture of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), perfluoroalkoxy (PFA), and perfluoroethylene propylene (FEP).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A multilayer coatings system for protecting metal surfaces according to claims 1 or 2, wherein filling ratios of activated carbon are between 5 and 25 percent by weight of the activate carbon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A multilayer coatings system for protecting metal surfaces comprising three superimposed layers of a first fluoroplastic layer over the metal surface, an intermediate fluoroplastic layer containing activated carbon, and an outer fluoroplastic layer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A multilayer coatings system for protecting metal surfaces comprising three superimposed layers of a first fluoroplastic layer over the metal surface, an intermediate fluoroplastic layer containing activated carbon, and an outer fluoroplastic layer.
