DEFINITION

Classification: 516/134

The compound contains repeating -(OC nH 2n)- (i.e., repeating unsubstituted oxyalkylene):

(under subclass 132) Subject matter in which the organic* compound contains repeating -(OC nH 2n)-, (i.e., repeating unsubstituted oxyalkylene, bonded directly to each other).

(1) Note. "Repeating -(OC nH 2n)-" means 2 or more, bonded directly to each other. Thus, this subclass requires at least two ether linkages; monoether derivatives are located elsewhere.

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).
