Examples of such organic binders are: resins, polysaccharides and compounds having carbon-to-metal linkages.

Compositions covered by this main group are often referred to as polymer- or resin-mortars or concrete.

Glossary of terms

In this main group, the following terms or expressions are used with the meaning indicated:

Resin- or polymer mortars or concrete

Mortar and concrete compositions based on organic binders only, i.e. excluding any inorganic binder. In patent literature these terms are sometimes used for compositions also containing an inorganic binder, e.g. Portland cement. If this is the case classification should not be made in this main group but in main group C04B 28/00.
