Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 110 words
In a process for hardening unsaturated polyester resins which comprises contacting a mixture of an unsaturated polyester resin and a vinyl monomer copolymerizable therewith, with a hardening agent, the improvement which comprises; said hardening agent is a mixture of a peroxide containing a hydroperoxy group and a β-amino-α,β -unsaturated ketone having the formula ##STR8## wherein R 1 is hydrogen, alkyl having one to 6 carbon atoms, cyanoalkyl or hydroxyalkyl having one to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 3 to 12 carbon atoms or aralkyl, R 2 and R 3 each are hydrogen, alkyl having one to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 3 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl, alkoxy or amino.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 110 words
In a process for hardening unsaturated polyester resins which comprises contacting a mixture of an unsaturated polyester resin and a vinyl monomer copolymerizable therewith, with a hardening agent, the improvement which comprises; said hardening agent is a mixture of a peroxide containing a hydroperoxy group and a β-amino-α,β -unsaturated ketone having the formula ##STR8## wherein R 1 is hydrogen, alkyl having one to 6 carbon atoms, cyanoalkyl or hydroxyalkyl having one to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 3 to 12 carbon atoms or aralkyl, R 2 and R 3 each are hydrogen, alkyl having one to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 3 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl, alkoxy or amino.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
A process according to claim 1 in which said unsaturated polyester is obtained by reaction between an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or polyester-forming derivative thereof, with a saturated polyol or polyester-forming derivative thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 49 words
A process according to claim 1 in which said hardening agent contains from 0.01 to 10.0 weight percent of said peroxide, based on the weight of said unsaturated polyester resin, and from 0.005 to 10.0 weight percent of said ketone, based on the weight of said unsaturated polyester resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 49 words
A process according to claim 1 in which said hardening agent contains from 0.05 to 5.0 weight percent of said peroxide, based on the weight of said unsaturated polyester resin, and from 0.01 to 5.0 weight percent of said ketone, based on the weight of said unsaturated polyester resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 17 words
A process according to claim 3 in which the hardening temperature is from -10° to +150° C.

Claim 10
Dependent Claim 26 words
A process according to claim 6, wherein said peroxide is a hydroperoxide selected from the group consisting of cumene hydroperoxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, 2,5-dimethylhexyl-2,5-dihydroperoxide and p-menthane hydroperoxide.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 13 words
A process according to claim 6, wherein said peroxide is an aldehyde peroxide.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 18 words
