DEFINITION

Classification: 516/168

The compound contains repeating -(OC nH 2n)- (i.e., repeating unsubstituted oxyalkylene) (e.g., alkoxylated phenol-aldehyde polymer):

(under subclass 164) Subject matter in which the organic* compound which contains nitrogen and is the polymeric or resinous reaction product of substituted or unsubstituted phenol with substituted or unsubstituted aldehyde also contains repeating -(OC nH 2n)- (i.e., repeating unsubstituted oxyalkylene), such as, alkoxylated phenol-aldehyde polymer.

(1) Note. "Repeating -(OC nH 2n)-" means 2 or more, bonded directly to each other. Thus, this subclass requires at least two ether linkages; monoether derivatives are located elsewhere.
