Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 191 words
A method for processing a stabilized halogen containing organic polymer composition comprising: (a) formulating a first stabilized halogen containing organic polymer composition comprising: (i) a halogen containing organic polymer; (ii) an acid scavenger comprising a sodium zeolite; and (iii) a heat stabilizer selected from the group consisting of mixed metal stabilizers, organotin stabilizers, lead stabilizers, metal free stabilizers or any combination of the foregoing; (b) formulating a second stabilized halogen containing organic polymer composition comprising: (i) a halogen containing organic polymer; and (ii) a heat stabilizer selected from the group consisting of mixed metal stabilizers, organotin stabilizers, lead stabilizers, metal free stabilizers, antimony-tris-mercaptides, organic phosphates, epoxy compounds, polyols, dicarboxylic acids, aminocrotonates or any combination of the foregoing; and (c) processing the first and second stabilized compositions to form a multi-layered product wherein the first composition forms a core layer comprising from about 50 to about 99 weight percent of the product and the second composition forms a cap layer comprising from about 1 to about 50 weight percent of the product and wherein the first composition is processed at a higher temperature and with a greater output than the second composition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 191 words
A method for processing a stabilized halogen containing organic polymer composition comprising: (a) formulating a first stabilized halogen containing organic polymer composition comprising: (i) a halogen containing organic polymer; (ii) an acid scavenger comprising a sodium zeolite; and (iii) a heat stabilizer selected from the group consisting of mixed metal stabilizers, organotin stabilizers, lead stabilizers, metal free stabilizers or any combination of the foregoing; (b) formulating a second stabilized halogen containing organic polymer composition comprising: (i) a halogen containing organic polymer; and (ii) a heat stabilizer selected from the group consisting of mixed metal stabilizers, organotin stabilizers, lead stabilizers, metal free stabilizers, antimony-tris-mercaptides, organic phosphates, epoxy compounds, polyols, dicarboxylic acids, aminocrotonates or any combination of the foregoing; and (c) processing the first and second stabilized compositions to form a multi-layered product wherein the first composition forms a core layer comprising from about 50 to about 99 weight percent of the product and the second composition forms a cap layer comprising from about 1 to about 50 weight percent of the product and wherein the first composition is processed at a higher temperature and with a greater output than the second composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 39 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the core layer comprises from about 70 to about 95 weight percent of the product and the cap layer comprises from about 5 to about 30 weight percent of the product.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 13 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the zeolite is sodium mordenite.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 45 words
(Amended) A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the zeolite is a sodium zeolite with about 13 to 25% water content, a mean particle size of about 3 to about 4 microns and an average pore size of about 3 to about 7 angstroms.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 34 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the first composition and the second composition further comprise, costablizers, plasticizers, lubricants, smoke supressants, impact modifiers, UV stabilizers, fillers, pigments or any combination of the foregoing.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the first and second compositions are processed by coextruding the first and second compositions.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 28 words
A method as defined in claim 6 wherein the first and second compositions are processed by coextruding the first and second compositions into a single feed block die.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 19 words
A method as defined in claim 7 further comprising the step of forming the multi-layered product into a sheet.
Claim 10
Independent Claim 263 words
