DIFF Subclass Not Allocatable
C08L

COMPOSITIONS OF MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS (compositions based on polymerisable monomers C08F, C08G; artificial filaments or fibres D01F; textile treating compositions D06)

Introduced: July 1974

Description

C08L covers polymeric compositions and blends based on macromolecular compounds, including plastics, rubbers, and resins combined with additives, fillers, or other polymers. This subclass encompasses formulated materials ready for processing or use, such as polymer alloys, filled plastics, plasticized polymers, and composite matrices. It excludes the synthesis of individual macromolecules (covered in C08C, C08F, etc.) and focuses instead on compositions combining multiple components to achieve desired physical or chemical properties. Applications span thermoplastics, elastomers, thermosets, adhesives, coatings, and technical polymeric materials tailored for industrial or consumer applications.
