Abstract
Abstract This disclosure relates to an improved band ply lubricant to be utilized in tire curing operations. The composition of this band ply dope or lubricant comprises a liquid phase, a thickening agent, a fine solid material, and a high viscosity lubricant. These materials are present in precise ratios so that the band ply dope composition exhibits a thixotropic character.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A band ply dope in the form of a thixotropic composition, maintainable as a viscous sprayable material by moderate agitation which rapidly sets to a gel when agitation is terminated, such composition comprising an azeotropic mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water as the volatile liquid phase, such mixture having sufficient water to yield a boiling point below 90°C., a hydroxybutyl methyl cellulose thickening agent capable of imparting thixotropic properties to said liquid, a filler selected from the group consisting of finely divided mica and finely divided graphite, a high viscosity lubricant having a viscosity in excess of 2,000 centipoises at 20°C. and selected from the group consisting of a silicone oil and a silicone - polyglycol copolymer, said dope having 1.5 to 4 parts of said thickening agent, 10 to 40 parts of said finely divided filler, and 1 to 15 parts of said lubricant, all per 100 parts of said liquid phase, said dope composition being capable of drying to a strong, tough film containing said dispersed lubricant and filler.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
170 words
A band ply dope in the form of a thixotropic composition, maintainable as a viscous sprayable material by moderate agitation which rapidly sets to a gel when agitation is terminated, such composition comprising an azeotropic mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water as the volatile liquid phase, such mixture having sufficient water to yield a boiling point below 90°C., a hydroxypropyl cellulose thickening agent capable of imparting thixotropic properties to said liquid, a filler selected from the group consisting of finely divided mica and finely divided graphite, a high viscosity lubricant having a viscosity in excess of 2,000 centipoises at 20°C. and selected from the group consisting of a silicone oil and a silicone - polyglycol copolymer, said dope having 1.5 to 4 parts of said thickening agent, 10 to 40 parts of said finely divided filler, and 1 to 15 parts of said lubricant, all per 100 parts of said liquid phase, said dope composition being capable of drying to a strong, tough film containing said dispersed lubricant and filler.
