Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A silicone latex composition consisting essentially of by weight, (A) 100 parts of a base formulation consisting essentially of an aqueous emulsion having 40 to 60% by weight solids and a pH in the range of about 4 to 6, of a silanol-terminated polydiorganosiloxane and an effective amount of a nonionic surfactant, (B) 0.1 to 5 parts of a silane cross-linker, (C) 25 to 70 parts of calcium carbonate, and (D) 0.3 to 2 parts of a stannoxane catalyst having the formula, (R).sub.2 SnX-O-Sn(R.sup.1).sub.2 OH. where R and R 1 are selected from the same or different C.sub.(1-8) alkyl radicals, and X is a halogen radical, or an acyloxy radical.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A silicone latex composition consisting essentially of by weight, (A) 100 parts of a base formulation consisting essentially of an aqueous emulsion having 40 to 60% by weight solids and a pH in the range of about 4 to 6, of a silanol-terminated polydiorganosiloxane and an effective amount of a nonionic surfactant, (B) 0.1 to 5 parts of a silane cross-linker, (C) 25 to 70 parts of calcium carbonate, and (D) 0.3 to 2 parts of a stannoxane catalyst having the formula, (R).sub.2 SnX-O-Sn(R.sup.1).sub.2 OH. where R and R 1 are selected from the same or different C.sub.(1-8) alkyl radicals, and X is a halogen radical, or an acyloxy radical.
