Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
49 words
A method of producing a non-wetting surface on a glass substrate comprising the steps of: a. contacting a glass surface with a composition comprising a perfluorioalkyl alkyl silane and a fluorinated olefin telomer; and b. heating the glass surface contacted with said composition to produce a durable non-wetting surface.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
49 words
A method of producing a non-wetting surface on a glass substrate comprising the steps of: a. contacting a glass surface with a composition comprising a perfluorioalkyl alkyl silane and a fluorinated olefin telomer; and b. heating the glass surface contacted with said composition to produce a durable non-wetting surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said perfluoroalkyl alkyl silane is selected from compounds having the general formula R n R'SiX 4-n wherein R is a perfluoroalkyl radical, R' is an alkyl radical, n is less than 4, and X is a radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, halogen, alkoxy and acetoxy radicals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein said perfluoroalkyl radical is selected from the group consisting of CF 3 to C 30 F 61 .
