Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
A composition comprising pigment particles containing on their surfaces a surfactant, said surfactant being present on said surfaces in an amount sufficient to improve the dispersibility of sid particles in a resin medium, a plastic medium, a paper meaking composition, or a reinforced plastic composite composition, wherein the surfactant consists of the reaction product of a Diamine, and a Fatty Acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words
A composition comprising pigment particles containing on their surfaces a surfactant, said surfactant being present on said surfaces in an amount sufficient to improve the dispersibility of sid particles in a resin medium, a plastic medium, a paper meaking composition, or a reinforced plastic composite composition, wherein the surfactant consists of the reaction product of a Diamine, and a Fatty Acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the pigment is carbon black and the amount of surfactant is from about 1.00 to about 15.0 weight percent of the composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The comoosition of claim 2 wherein the amount of surfactant is from about 4 to about 10 weight percent of the composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the pigment is an organic pigment and the amount of surfactant is from about 1.00 to about 15.0 weight percent of the composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
