Appeal No. 95-2270 Application 08/005,856 4. The resin contains "a plurality of silicon-bonded hydroxy groups" (col. 2, lines 27-28). 5. For each mole of trialkyl silane used in the cohydrolysis, there should be used from 1 to 2 mols, advantageously about 1.2 to 1.8 mols of the alkyl silicate (col. 4, lines 15-21). 6. The "fluid" is a "high viscosity organopoly- siloxane" (col. 4, line 47) "having a viscosity within the range of about 75,000 to 125,000 centiposes" (col. 6, lines 16-17), which is treated so as to have "a terminal silicon-bonded hydroxyl group" (col. 6, lines 30-31), and is further treated "to obtain a higher viscosity material, for instance, one having a viscosity of about 200,000 to 3,000,000 centipoises (col. 6, lines 39-41). 7. The organopolysiloxane pressure-sensitive adhesive is made by mixing the "resin" and the "fluid" under conditions which permit "interaction [i.e., reaction,] between the" resin and fluid (col. 6, lines 62-66). 8. The proportion of resin to fluid advantageously is within the range of 0.5 to 6.0 weight parts of fluid per weight part of resin (col. 7, lines 21-24). 9. In Table 1 of Example 1 there is described three resin/fluid mixtures said to have been used to make pressure- - 3 -Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
