          Application 08/329,042                                                      

                    38. A compact is illustrated in Fig. 2:                           
















                    39. As shown, compact 30 contains binder 12 and                   
          powder 10.                                                                  
                    40. Binder 12 includes a water soluble component and              
          a water insoluble component (col. 2, lines 36-38).                          
                    41. The water insoluble component of the binder is a              
          PVB resin (col. 7, lines 52-57).                                            
                    42. The water soluble component of the binder is a                
          polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight under 10,000                  
          (col. 2, lines 52-54; col. 7, lines 50-52).                                 
                    43. There comes a time when the PVB resin is cross-               
          linked.                                                                     

                                       - 12 -
