Homopolymers or copolymers of acrylic acid esters

Introduced: July 1974

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Compositions of homopolymers or copolymers of compounds having one or more unsaturated aliphatic radicals, each having only one carbon-to-carbon double bond, and only one being terminated by only one carboxyl radical, or of salts, anhydrides, esters, amides, imides, or nitriles thereof; Compositions of derivatives of such polymers > Homopolymers or copolymers of esters > of esters containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, the oxygen atom being present only as part of the carboxyl radical > Homopolymers or copolymers of acrylic acid esters

CPC:

Compositions of homopolymers or copolymers of compounds having one or more unsaturated aliphatic radicals, each having only one carbon-to-carbon double bond, and only one being terminated by only one carboxyl radical, or of salts, anhydrides, esters, amides, imides or nitriles thereof; Compositions of derivatives of such polymers > Homopolymers or copolymers of esters > of esters containing only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, which oxygen atoms are present only as part of the carboxyl radical > Homopolymers or copolymers of acrylic acid esters
