What Page 3 Contains

Page 3 opens in the middle of the coating chemistry entries, running from subclass 140 through subclass 198. The first entries classify coatings and impregnations by their chemical content: boron containing, phosphorus containing, a phosphorus containing compound together with a nitrogen containing compound, phosphorus and halogen containing compounds, halogen containing, and nitrogen containing material, each indented under the broader coating subclass it refines. The entries are precise about combinations — a single compound containing both elements is classified separately from a mixture of two compounds, one containing each element.

Later on the page the subject changes from coating chemistry to strand material, with entries on the cross-sectional configuration of strand material, including strands characterized by two or more lobes, and on strand material formed of individual filaments having different chemical compositions, including a subclass for strands including inorganic filament such as glass, ceramic, mineral, carbon or metal filaments. Links to all seven classification pages and back to the Government Resources directory let readers continue the classification in order.
