DEFINITION
Classification: 106/400
Pigment, filler, or aggregate compositions (e.g., stone, shale, pebbles, rock, etc.):
Materials or ingredients specialized for use as pigments, fillers, or aggregates in coating or plastic compositions.
(1) Note. This class and indented subclasses include all pigments, fillers or aggregates which are specialized for use in producing coating or plastic compositions whether or not the said coating or plastic compositions are classified in this class, e.g., synthetic resins, rubber, paper fillers, etc.
(2) Note. When a composition contains no "identified material" other than a material such as rock, stone, etc., which may have varied compositions in the art, it is placed in this subclass, unless the stone or rock is specifically defined by the patent. See the definition of "identified material" in the definitions (1) Note, of subclass 401 of
this class.

241, Solid Material Comminution or Disintegration, appropriate subclasses for processes of producing pigments, involving comminution.
260, Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, appropriate subclasses for pigments, fillers or aggregates which are single compounds or are reaction mixtures.
423, Chemistry of Inorganic Compounds, appropriate subclasses for pigments, fillers or aggregates which are single compounds or are reaction mixtures. 428, Stock Material or Miscellaneous Articles, appropriate subclasses for a stock material product of that class including elements of structure (e.g., crimped fibers) and especially
364, for a rod, strand or fiber with structure (e.g., varying cross-section, physical dimension, etc.) or with a coating.
520, Synthetic Resins or Natural Rubbers, appropriate subclasses particularly Class 524, for a pigment, filler or aggregate composition, otherwise proper for Class 106,
400+, when the composition contains a synthetic resin or rubber.
