Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
A minimum boiling point binary azeotropic mixture, consisting essentially of 40-99.5 weight percent, based on the sum of the weights of (a) and (b), of (a) perfluoropropane and (b) 0.5-60 weight percent, based on the sum of the weights of (a) and (b), of dimethyl ether said minimum boiling point azeotrope consisting of 90.3 weight percent perfluoropropane and 9.7 weight percent dimethyl ether at 0° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
A minimum boiling point binary azeotropic mixture, consisting essentially of 40-99.5 weight percent, based on the sum of the weights of (a) and (b), of (a) perfluoropropane and (b) 0.5-60 weight percent, based on the sum of the weights of (a) and (b), of dimethyl ether said minimum boiling point azeotrope consisting of 90.3 weight percent perfluoropropane and 9.7 weight percent dimethyl ether at 0° C.
