DEFINITION

Classification: 516/80

The material is a silica particle having a distinct layer containing non-monovalent metal oxide (e.g., alumina coated silica sol):

(under subclass 79) Subject matter in which said solid inorganic* material* is a silica particle which further has a distinct layer containing nonmonovalent metal oxide, such as alumina coated silica sol.

(1) Note. "Nonmonovalent metal" excludes lithium, sodium, potassium, and rubidium.

34, for colloid systems in which the continuous liquid phase is primarily organic* and the discontinuous phase is primarily inorganic* solid or semisolid material* which is primarily compounds containing both silicon and oxygen, both aluminum and oxygen, or combinations thereof, such as silica organosol*, silica alcosol, talc, clay.

136+, for compositions which are miscellaneous mineral oil compositions, or are lubricants or separants for moving solid surfaces, which contain silicon dioxide, silicic acid, orthosilicate, or metasilicate (e.g., clays, onium clays, estersils, etc.) which may be surface-treated. This class is organized based upon the chemical constituents or chemical reactants of the composition or device; no subclass specifically provides for colloid systems or wetting agents, therefore such subject matter would be placed based upon its constituents as though it were a solution or mixture having no colloid system characteristic.
