Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
57 words
A stripping composition free of hydroxylamine compounds, consisting essentially of the admixture of monoethanolamine in an amount of about 70 to 95% weight, about 8 to 2% by weight of a corrosion inhibitor which is a compound selected from the group consisting of catechol, pyrogallol, anthranilic acid, gallic acid and gallic ester and the balance being water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
57 words
A stripping composition free of hydroxylamine compounds, consisting essentially of the admixture of monoethanolamine in an amount of about 70 to 95% weight, about 8 to 2% by weight of a corrosion inhibitor which is a compound selected from the group consisting of catechol, pyrogallol, anthranilic acid, gallic acid and gallic ester and the balance being water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The stripping composition of claim 1 wherein the inhibitor is of the type that forms a coordination complex with the substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The stripping composition of claim 2 wherein the monoethanolamine compound is about 77% by weight, the inhibitor is about 5% by weight and the aqueous portion is about 18% by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A process of removing an organic residue from an inorganic substrate comprising contacting the organic residue with an effective amount of the stripping composition of claim 1 for an effective period of time and removing the residue from the substrate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
A process of removing an organic residue from an inorganic substrate comprising contacting the organic residue with an effective amount of the stripping composition of claim 3 for an effective period of time and removing the residue from the substrate.
