DEFINITION

Classification: 510/513

AUXILIARY COMPOSITIONS FOR CLEANING, OR PROCESSES OF PREPARING (E.G., LAUNDERING AIDS, SUCH AS WRINKLE-REDUCING COMPOSITIONS, ETC.):

(under the class definition) Compositions which: (a) constitute an intermediate composition of two or more components used in the manufacture of cleaning compositions, such as detergent builder compositions, or surfactant compositions specialized for use in cleaning agents; or (b) when used in the cleaning process or in a finishing step, improve the appearance or feel of the cleaned articles, such as dishwasher rinse or textile softening compositions; or (c) when used together with surfactants and other customary components of cleaning compositions, facilitate the removal of soil in the course of a current or subsequent cleaning operation, such as laundry sour, enzyme, or soil-release compositions.

(1) Note. Included in this and indented subclasses are compositions such as dishwasher rinses, textile softening or antistatic agents, soil-release or antisoiling agents, laundry sours, enzymes, detergent builders and surfactants, consonant with categories (a) through (c) of the subclass definition and specialized and designed for such utility, as well as any compositions within the purview of such criteria which are not provided for elsewhere.

516, Colloid Systems and Wetting Agents; Subcombinations Thereof; Processes of Making, Stabilizing, Breaking, or Inhibiting, appropriate subclasses for subject matter relating to: colloid systems (such as sols*, emulsions, dispersions, foams, aerosols, smokes, gels, or pastes) or wetting agents (such as leveling, penetrating, or spreading); subcombination compositions of colloid systems containing at least an agent specialized and designed for or peculiar to use in making or stabilizing colloid systems; compositions

and subcombination compositions specialized and designed for or peculiar to use in breaking (resolving) or inhibiting colloid systems; processes of making the compositions or systems of the class; processes of breaking (resolving) or inhibiting colloid systems; in each instance, when generically claimed or when there is no hierarchically superior provision in the USPC for the specifically claimed art; such as surfactants which are not specifically designed for use in cleaning compositions.
