Appeal No. 95-4934
Application 07/908,650
This is a decision on an appeal which involves claims 10,
11 and 15 through 19. The only other claims in the
application, which are claims 1 through 9 and 12 through 14,
have been determined by the examiner to be allowable.
The subject matter on appeal relates to a method of
removing an organic coating from a substrate via a composition
consisting essentially of (1) from about 10 percent by weight
to about 45 percent by weight of at least one dibasic ester,
(2) from about 55 percent by weight to about 90 percent by
weight water, and (3) at least one thickening agent in an
amount sufficient to form a stable emulsion. The appealed
subject matter also relates to a stable thixotropic emulsion
composition having the aforementioned ingredients. This
subject matter is adequately illustrated by independent claims
10 and 15 which read as follows:
10. Method of removing an organic coating from a
substrate comprising the steps of:
(a) providing a composition consisting essentially of
(1) from about 10 percent by weight to about 45 percent by
weight of at least one dibasic ester, (2) from about 55
percent by weight to about 90 percent by weight water, and (3)
at least one thickening agent selected from the group
consisting of water soluble and water swellable thickening
agents, and mixtures thereof, in an amount sufficient to form
a stable emulsion;
