Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Lubricating compositions characterised by the additive being an organic non-macromolecular compound containing oxygen > having a carbon chain of less than 30 atoms > Esters > Complex esters, i.e. compounds containing at least three esterified carboxyl groups and derived from the combination of at least three different types of the following five types of compound: monohydroxy compounds, polyhydroxy compounds, monocarboxylic acids, polycarboxylic acids, hydroxy carboxylic acids

CPC:

Lubricating compositions characterised by the additive being an organic non-macromolecular compound containing oxygen > having a carbon chain of less than 30 atoms > Esters (epoxidised C10M129/66) > Complex esters, i.e. compounds containing at least three esterified carboxyl groups and derived from the combination of at least three different types of the following five types of compound: monohydroxy compounds, polyhydroxy compounds, monocarboxylic acids, polycarboxylic acids, hydroxy carboxylic acids

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 1985.
