Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
A process for enhancing the coatability of sulfonic acid cationic exchange resin particles which comprises contacting said particles with an aqueous solution containing from at least about 3% to about 20% by weight of an impregnating agent, based on the combined weight of the impregnating agent and the particles, said agent being selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sorbitol, hydroxypropyl sorbitol, and polyvinylpyrrolidone, and thereafter individually coating said particles with a waterpermeable diffusion barrier.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
A process for enhancing the coatability of sulfonic acid cationic exchange resin particles which comprises contacting said particles with an aqueous solution containing from at least about 3% to about 20% by weight of an impregnating agent, based on the combined weight of the impregnating agent and the particles, said agent being selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sorbitol, hydroxypropyl sorbitol, and polyvinylpyrrolidone, and thereafter individually coating said particles with a waterpermeable diffusion barrier.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the impregnating agent is hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the impregnating agent is hydroxypropyl cellulose.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the impregnating agent is sorbitol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the impregnating agent is hydroxypropyl sorbitol.
