Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
An epoxy resin composition resulting from dehydrohalogenating the reaction product of one or more polysulfides with an epihalohydrin which polysulfides are represented by the following formulas I or II or a combination of such polysulfides ##STR19## wherein each R is independently a polyvalent organic radical with each valence residing on a carbon atom and having from one to about 18 carbon atoms: each Z is independently a hydroxyalkyl or inertly substituted hydroxyalkyl monovalent radical having from 1 to about 36 carbon atoms; p and m are independently zero or a positive integer having a value from 1 to about 40; p" and m 1 are independently a positive integer having a value from 1 to about 40; n is a number from 1 to about 8 and p' is zero or a positive integer which is the difference between the valence of R and two.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
An epoxy resin composition resulting from dehydrohalogenating the reaction product of one or more polysulfides with an epihalohydrin which polysulfides are represented by the following formulas I or II or a combination of such polysulfides ##STR19## wherein each R is independently a polyvalent organic radical with each valence residing on a carbon atom and having from one to about 18 carbon atoms: each Z is independently a hydroxyalkyl or inertly substituted hydroxyalkyl monovalent radical having from 1 to about 36 carbon atoms; p and m are independently zero or a positive integer having a value from 1 to about 40; p" and m 1 are independently a positive integer having a value from 1 to about 40; n is a number from 1 to about 8 and p' is zero or a positive integer which is the difference between the valence of R and two.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
74 words
An epoxy resin composition of claim 1 wherein each R independently has from about 2 to about 12 carbon atoms: each Z independently has from about 2 to about 12 carbon atoms: p and m are independently positive integers having a value of from 1 to about 12; p" and m 1 are independently positive integers having a value from 1 to about 12; and n is a number from 1 to about 4.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
74 words
An epoxy resin composition of claim 2 wherein each R independently has from about 2 to about 6 carbon atoms; each Z independently has from about 2 to about 6 carbon atoms; p and m are independently positive integers having a value of from 1 to about 6; p" and m 1 are independently positive integers having a value from 1 to about 6; and n is a number from 1 to about 2.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
115 words
An epoxy resin composition of claim 1 wherein the polysulfide is HO--((CH 2 CH 2 SCH 2 CH 2 O) b --(CH 2 CH 2 SCH 2 CH(CH 3 )O) d ) n --H where n has a value from about 4 to about 6, HO--((CH 2 CH 2 SCH 2 CH 2 )O) b --OCH 2 CHOHCH 2 O--(CH 2 CH 2 SCH 2 CH(CH 3 )O) d ) n--H where n has a value from about 8 to about 10, HOCH 2 CH 2 SSCH 2 CH 2 SSCH 2 CH 2 H, thiodiglycol, 2-hydroxyethyldisulfide, or a combination and b and d are integers such that b/(b+d) has a value of 0.7 thereof.
