Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A non-aqueous silicone antifoam composition consisting essentially of a lipophilic nonionic surface active agent having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value of up to about 10 homogeneously dispersed in a non-emulsified hydrophobic diorganosiloxane antifoam agent, wherein said surface active agent is selected from the group consisting of organic surface active agents and siloxane surface active agents consisting essentially of siloxy units of the formula R 3 SiO 0 .5, R 2 SiO and [R"'(R") n R']Si(R)O wherein R is a methyl radical, R' is a divalent propylene radical, R" is an oxyalkylene group, R"' is an alkoxy radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and n is an integer, and wherein the amount ratio of said surface active agent to said antifoam agent ranges from about 0.2 to about 25 parts by weight of the surface active agent per 100 parts by weight of the antifoam agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A non-aqueous silicone antifoam composition consisting essentially of a lipophilic nonionic surface active agent having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value of up to about 10 homogeneously dispersed in a non-emulsified hydrophobic diorganosiloxane antifoam agent, wherein said surface active agent is selected from the group consisting of organic surface active agents and siloxane surface active agents consisting essentially of siloxy units of the formula R 3 SiO 0 .5, R 2 SiO and [R"'(R") n R']Si(R)O wherein R is a methyl radical, R' is a divalent propylene radical, R" is an oxyalkylene group, R"' is an alkoxy radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and n is an integer, and wherein the amount ratio of said surface active agent to said antifoam agent ranges from about 0.2 to about 25 parts by weight of the surface active agent per 100 parts by weight of the antifoam agent.
