DEFINITION

Classification: 252/186.1

OXIDATIVE BLEACHANT, OXIDANT CONTAINING, OR GENERATIVE:

(under the class definition) Compositions which contain substances for, or peculiar to, use in bleaching by oxidation, or in other oxidation of extraneous substances, or in generating oxygen, or in making substances for such use, or processes of making such compositions or mere method of using such compositions.

(1) Note. A material qualifies as an oxidizing agent either if it is so claimed, disclosed, or if it is generally art recognized as such.

184, for such compositions which are also chemically yielding.

372+, for gaseous compositions containing an oxidant.

8, Bleaching and Dyeing; Fluid Treatment and Chemical Modification of Textiles and Fibers, 101+, for processes of bleaching or decoloring textiles and which are other than the mere application of a novel oxidizing bleach composition.

149, Explosive and Thermic Compositions or Charges,

1, and 119 for a collection of organic and inorganic compounds having oxidative uses in compositions of that class.

210, Liquid Purification or Separation,

749+, for processes of chemically treating a liquid for the purpose of purifying the liquid using an oxidizing composition, e.g., a method to reduce the bacteria count in water using sodium hypochlorite would be classified in Classes 210, subclass 756.

260, Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, appropriate subclasses for organic compounds, per se, which may be oxidative and admixture of such compounds with agents designed to improve the stability of such compounds.

423, Chemistry of Inorganic Compounds,

265+, for an inorganic compound, which may be oxidative, admixed with an agent designed to improve the stability of such a compound.

424, Drug, Bio-Affecting and Body Treating Compositions,

62, for compositions under the class definition which bleach or remove color from live skin or hair and which are applied topically.

502, Catalyst, Solid Sorbent, or Support Therefor: Product or Process of Making, for compositions containing an oxidant claimed or solely disclosed as a catalyst.

510, Cleaning Compositions for Solid Surfaces, Auxiliary Compositions Therefor, or Processes of Preparing the Compositions, especially 302+, and 367+ for cleaning compositions including an oxidant or chemical bleach component.

516, Colloid Systems and Wetting Agents; Subcombinations Thereof; Processes of Making, Stabilizing, Breaking, or Inhibiting,

10+, for foam colloid systems or agents for such systems or making or stabilizing such systems or agents, subclasses 31+ for colloid systems of colloid-sized solid or semisolid phase dispersed in primarily organic continuous liquid phase,

subclasses 77+ for colloid systems of colloid-sized solid phase dispersed in aqueous continuous liquid phase; or agents for such systems or making or stabilizing such systems or agents; in each instance, when generically claimed or when there is no hierarchically superior provision in the USPC for the specifically claimed art.

520, Synthetic Resins or Natural Rubbers, appropriate subclasses for treating a resin with an oxidizing agent or generative.
