What Page 2 Contains

Page 2 continues the coated and impregnated fabric entries, running from subclass 70 through subclass 139. The entries are organized by the character of the coating or impregnation: whether at least one coating or impregnation contains particulate material, whether there are at least two coatings or impregnations of different chemical composition, and whether a coating or impregnation functions to fix pigments or particles on the surface of a coating or impregnation. Each entry is indented under the broader subclass it refines, so the hierarchy of the classification can be followed entry by entry.

Toward the end of the page the entries turn to function: coatings and impregnations stated to protect against radiation or to absorb radiation — including ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwave and high energy particle radiation — with subclasses distinguishing radiation reflective from radiation absorptive material, and a subclass for a coating or impregnation resistant to penetration by solid implements.
