Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
An encapsulating formulation which comprises (I) an epoxy-containing composition selected from (A) a composition which comprises an adduct prepared by reacting (1) a metabrominated monophenol and (2) a multifunctional polyepoxide having an average of more than two vicinal epoxide groups per molecule; wherein components (1) and (2) are employed in quantities which provide a ratio of phenolic hydroxyl groups to epoxide groups of from about 0.05:1 to about 0.5:1; or (B) a mixture comprising (1) a glycidyl ether of a metabrominated monophenol and (2) a polyepoxide having an average of more than one vicinal epoxide group per molecule; wherein components (1) and (2) are employed in quantities which provide the resultant mixture with a bromine content of from about 2 to about 20 percent by weight; and (II) a curing amount of a curing agent for component (I).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
An encapsulating formulation which comprises (I) an epoxy-containing composition selected from (A) a composition which comprises an adduct prepared by reacting (1) a metabrominated monophenol and (2) a multifunctional polyepoxide having an average of more than two vicinal epoxide groups per molecule; wherein components (1) and (2) are employed in quantities which provide a ratio of phenolic hydroxyl groups to epoxide groups of from about 0.05:1 to about 0.5:1; or (B) a mixture comprising (1) a glycidyl ether of a metabrominated monophenol and (2) a polyepoxide having an average of more than one vicinal epoxide group per molecule; wherein components (1) and (2) are employed in quantities which provide the resultant mixture with a bromine content of from about 2 to about 20 percent by weight; and (II) a curing amount of a curing agent for component (I).
