DEFINITION

Classification: 516/132

The agent contains organic compound containing oxygen:

(under subclass 115) Subject matter in which the breaking (resolving) or inhibiting agent* contains an organic* compound which contains oxygen.

(1) Note. Materials* used as agents* which are impurely or crudely derived from plant or animal sources, are assumed to contain nitrogen-containing organic* compounds (i.e., the DNA and proteins), unless clearly separated out, such as cellulose, carbohydrate fractions, etc.

136, for similar subject matter related to breaking (resolving) or inhibiting of emulsions using an agent* which contains a solid material* which is only organic* or in which the nature of the material* is indeterminable.

137, for similar subject matter related to breaking (resolving) or inhibiting of emulsions using an agent* which contains a solid material*, in which the material* contains both an inorganic* material* and an organic* material*.

181+, for similar subject matter related to breaking (resolving) or inhibiting of aqueous-petroleum*, petroleum*-aqueous, aqueous-hydrocarbon, or hydrocarbon-aqueous emulsions (using an agent* which contains material* different from the primary components of both liquid phases as required by hierarchically superior subclass

139), and in which the agent* is other than solid surface functioning (as provided for in subclasses 136+), and is other than physically or chemically dissolving binding, or destroying or at least part of one liquid phase (other than the colloid system making or stabilizing agent*) (as provided for in subclass 140), and in which the agent* doesn't contain both an inorganic* material* and an organic* material* (as provided for in subclass 142).
