DIFF Subclass Not Allocatable
C09J

ADHESIVES; NON-MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF ADHESIVE PROCESSES IN GENERAL; ADHESIVE PROCESSES NOT PROVIDED FOR ELSEWHERE; USE OF MATERIALS AS ADHESIVES (preparation of glue or gelatine C09H)

Introduced: September 1968

Description

C09J covers adhesive compositions and the chemical/material aspects of adhesive bonding, excluding mechanical application methods. The subclass encompasses adhesives based on various chemical families (synthetic polymers, natural resins, elastomers, inorganic binders), adhesive formulations with specific performance characteristics, and processes for preparing or modifying adhesive materials. It includes novel uses of substances as adhesives and adhesive technologies not classified in other chemical or application-specific sections (such as C09K for sealing or lubricating compositions, or specific end-use classes like textiles or construction).

Glossary

aliphatic radical aliphatic radicals means an acyclic or a non-aromatic carbocyclic carbon skeleton which is considered to be terminated by every bond to: an element other than carbon; a carbon atom having a double bond to one atom other than carbon; an aromatic carbocyclic ring or a heterocyclic ring. use of materials as adhesives means the use of known or new polymers or products as adhesives. rubber rubbers includes: natural or conjugated diene rubbers; or rubber in general (for a specific rubber, other than a natural rubber or a conjugated diene rubber, see the group provided for adhesives based on such macromolecular compounds).
