Appeal No. 1997-0530 Application 08/312,493 THE INVENTION Appellants claim an insulating enameling lacquer for use in making enameled conductors, comprised of a blend of two recited polymers and a compatibilizing copolymer. Appellants also claim a process for making the lacquer, and claim an enameled wire comprising an external layer of an enamel obtained by reticulation of the lacquer. Claim 1, which is directed toward the lacquer composition, is illustrative and reads as follows: 1. An insulating enameling lacquer for enameled conductors comprising a polymer blend of a base first polymer, a second polymer and a copolymer, wherein: the base first polymer is selected from the group consisting of: polyurethane, polyamide, polyamide imide, polyester, polyester imide, polyester amide-imide, polyamide, acetal of polyvinyl alcohol, polyepoxy compounds and polyphenoxy compounds; the second polymer is selected from the group consisting of polysiloxanes; said second polymer is present in the blend in a quantity of at least 0.3% but less than 30% by weight; and 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
