DEFINITION

Classification: 8/552

Polymeric additive:

(under subclass 550) Subject matter wherein the organic additive is a polymer including liquid or solid polymers.

(1) Note. Conventional thickeners for print paste, i.e., starch or gums, are not placed here. The other dye additives control classification.

(2) Note. Nonprinting compositions with thickeners such as starch are herein. Functions of starch or gums other than print paste thickening are herein.

(3) Note. Cellulose esters and ethers are herein.
