Abstract
Abstract Microcapsules having hard, thick walls are formed by dispersing an oily solution containing a crosslinking agent in an aqueous solution, and forming a polysalt in the aqueous solution, the polysalt including a high molecular weight polyanion and a low molecular weight polycationic polyamine having a functionality of at least three. The polyanion is preferably casein. The microcapsules may be used in a CB ink for preparing carbonless copy paper.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A process for the production of microcapsules containing an oily solution, comprising: dispersing an oily solution including a crosslinking agent into an aqueous solution; forming a polysalt in said aqueous solution, said polysalt including a high molecular weight polyanion and a polycationic polyamine having a molecular weight of less than 1200 and having a functionality of at least three, whereby a hard, thick layer is formed around droplets of oily solution and microcapsules are produced.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A process for the production of microcapsules containing an oily solution, comprising: dispersing an oily solution including a crosslinking agent into an aqueous solution; forming a polysalt in said aqueous solution, said polysalt including a high molecular weight polyanion and a polycationic polyamine having a molecular weight of less than 1200 and having a functionality of at least three, whereby a hard, thick layer is formed around droplets of oily solution and microcapsules are produced.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
