Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 64 words
A method for the surface treatment of polyacetal resin characterized in that the resin is treated with an acidic solution containing chloride ions and sulfuric acid ions, wherein the hydrogen ion content of the solution is about 0.6 to about 1.5 equivalents per 100 grams of the solution and wherein the weight ratio of hydrogen chloride to sulfuric acid is about 1:20 to 20:1.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 64 words
A method for the surface treatment of polyacetal resin characterized in that the resin is treated with an acidic solution containing chloride ions and sulfuric acid ions, wherein the hydrogen ion content of the solution is about 0.6 to about 1.5 equivalents per 100 grams of the solution and wherein the weight ratio of hydrogen chloride to sulfuric acid is about 1:20 to 20:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
A method for the surface treatment according to claim 1, characterized in that the polyacetal resin is polyacetal containing calcium carbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 26 words
A method for the surface treatment according to claim 1, characterized in that the acidic solution is a mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A method for the surface treatment according to claim 1 wherein the hydrogen ion content is about 0.8 to about 1.3 equivalents per 100 grams of solution.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 26 words
A method for the surface treatment according to claim 1 wherein the weight ratio of hydrogen chloride to sulfuric acid is about 1:10 to about 1:1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 37 words
