                Appeal 2006-2159                                                                                 
                Application 09/862,234                                                                           

                       As discussed above, claims 41-43, 46, 47, 49 and 50 do not include                        
                the limitation requiring that the 100% solids composition is fluid at room                       
                temperature.  Therefore we AFFIRM the rejection of claims 41-43, 47, 49                          
                and 50 over Simpson in view of Sartor and Rosenberry, for reasons of record                      
                and as discussed above.  We also AFFIRM the rejection of claim 46 over                           
                Simpson in view of Sartor, Rosenberry and Schirmer, for reasons of record                        
                and as discussed above.                                                                          
                       C. Summary                                                                                
                       We REVERSE all rejections of claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, 16-19, 25,                    
                26, 29, 33-39, 44, 48, and 55-74.                                                                
                       We AFFIRM all rejections of claims 41-43, 46, 47, 49 and 50.                              
                Accordingly, the decision of the Examiner is AFFIRMED-IN-PART.
