Appeal No. 1996-3937 Application No. 08/319,702 The references of record relied upon are: Gilles 4,025,486 May 24, 1977 Pollock et al. (Pollock) 4,368,139 Jan. 11, 1983 Van Asbroeck et al. ( Van Asbroeck) 4,670,493 June 2, 1987 Miyata 4,675,356 June 23, 1987 Matumura 5,015,679 May 14, 1991 Dunski 5,028,486 July 2, 1991 The appealed claims stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in view of the combined teachings in the above cited references. We cannot sustain the stated rejection. The subject matter on appeal is directed to a dust free blend of compacted particles that consist essentially of a pentaerythritol phosphite, a hindered phenolic isocyanurate, a metal salt of a fatty acid (e.g., calcium stearate), and a hydrotalcite, and a method of making a dust free compacted particle from a blend of the above components by forming a densified compact of the blend and pelletizing the densified compact into particles. The compacted particles are said to exhibit reduced levels of dust, and are durable during handling. The compacted particles are useful as a stabilizing additive blend for polymeric compositions. 5Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
