Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim

A photopolymerisable composition which comprises an ethylenically unsaturated polyester, an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer, and a photosensitive catalyst comprising: (a) at least one photosensitiser which is an alpha-diketone selected from the group consisting of biacetyl, benzil, alpha-naphthil, beta-naphthil, p-tolil, furil, p,p'-dialkoxybenzil, p,p'-dihalobenzil and p-nitrobenzil, and
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
44 words
A photopolymerisable composition which comprises an ethylenically unsaturated polyester, an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer, and a photosensitive catalyst comprising: (a) at least one photosensitiser which is an alpha-diketone selected from the group consisting of biacetyl, benzil, alpha-naphthil, beta-naphthil, p-tolil, furil, p,p'-dialkoxybenzil, p,p'-dihalobenzil and p-nitrobenzil, and
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
10 words
(b) a reducing agent which is a N-alkyl- or N-cycloalkyl-morpholine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
10 words
(b) a reducing agent which is a N-alkyl- or N-cycloalkyl-morpholine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the N-alkyl or N-cycloalkyl morpholine is an N- (C 1 to C 6 ) alkyl morpholine, N-cyclohexylmorpholine or N-methylcyclohexylmorpholine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
126 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 which comprises: (a) 0.001% to 10% by weight of the composition of benzil, (b) 0.1% to 10% by weight of the composition of an N-(C 1 to C 6 alkyl)morpholine, (c) an ethylenically unsaturated polyester formed by the condensation of an ethylenically unsaturated dibasic acid selected from the group consisting of maleic acid, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, itaconic acid anhydride, mesaconic acid and citraconic acid with a polyhydric alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, glycerol, neopentyl glycol, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol, and (d) an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, vinyltoluene, divinylbenzene, diallylphthalate, vinylacetate and methylmethacrylate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
A composition as claimed in claim 3 in which the ethylenically unsaturated polyester is also formed from a dibasic acid selected from the group consisting of orthophthalic acid, phthalic anhydride, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid and adipic acid.
