C08J WORKING-UP; GENERAL PROCESSES OF COMPOUNDING; AFTER-TREATMENT NOT COVERED BY SUBCLASSES C08B, C08C, C08F, C08G or C08H (working, e.g. shaping, of plastics B29)
Description
C08J covers general processing, compounding, and post-treatment operations for organic macromolecular compounds (polymers, rubbers, resins) that are not specifically classified in other C08 subclasses. This includes mixing, blending, plasticizing, cross-linking, vulcanization, and mechanical working-up of polymeric materials to modify their properties or prepare composite formulations. The subclass captures broad processing techniques applicable across multiple polymer types and applications, serving as a residual category for compounding operations and after-treatments not detailed in specialized divisions such as polyurethanes (C08G), elastomers (C08C), or specific polymer synthesis routes.
