DEFINITION

Classification: 516/159

The compound is mineral-oil* sulfonic acid (e.g., mahogany* or green* acid):

(under subclass 146) Subject matter in which the sulfoxy* containing organic* compound is mineral-oil* sulfonic acid, such as, mahogany* or green* acid(s).

(1) Note. Mineral-oil* sulfonic acid results from mineral-oil* (see glossary definition) which has been sulfonated, e.g., by sulfuric acid. Mahogany* acid is the oil-soluble fraction of sulfonation of petroleum* oil; green* acid is the oil-insoluble fraction of sulfonation of petroleum* oil.

(2) Note. A substantially pure hydrocarbon is not a mineral-oil*, hence the sulfonation product of such does not constitute an agent* for breaking (resolving) or inhibiting for this subclass.
