INDEXING SCHEME ASSOCIATED WITH SUBCLASSES REINFORCEMENTS, FILLERS OR PREFORMED PARTS, e.g. INSERTS

**Definition:** This place covers:

This subclass constitutes an indexing scheme associated with subclasses B29B , B29C or B29D , which provides information concerning moulding materials (composition, condition, form or state) or compositions for reinforcements, fillers and preformed parts, e.g. as inserts.

Moulding materials include the materials being applied in the processes as provided in the subclass B29B , e.g. the making of granules, the recovery of plastics.

This subclass provides further an indexing scheme B29K2995/00 concerning the properties of moulding materials, reinforcements, fillers, preformed parts and moulds.

The following polymeric substances as moulding material, reinforcement, filler and/or preformed parts:

The following substances as reinforcement, filler and/or preformed parts:

Condition, form or state of moulded plastics or substances in a plastic state.

This subclass is indexed as follows:

**Glossary:** - Rubber: a) natural or conjugated diene-based rubber (b) rubber in general (for a specific rubber, other than a natural rubber or a conjugated diene-based rubber) - Block: Part of a polymer composed by a same monomeric unity - Reinforcement: Structure in the form of fibres, wires, rods, bars, sections, plates or blocks, which improves the strength of an article - Filler: Relatively inert substance in the form of particles, powder, beads, flakes or spheres, which improves the physical properties or increases the bulk or weight of an article - Preformed part: Any material, being completely shaped to have a determined form and which is not used as a reinforcement, e.g. wires or nets forced only into the surface of an article - Insert: Preformed part incorporated in an article during moulding; the insert can be incorporated completely or partially, e.g. only its edge or its surface
