PAINTING; SURFACE TREATMENT; PRESERVING PAINTINGS (decorating by applying foils, fibres, solid or granular material B44C; apparatus or mechanical methods for producing spray B05B; apparatus for applying liquids or semi-liquids to surfaces, methods essentially requiring the use of particular apparatus, see the relevant sub-classes for the apparatus, e.g. B05C; surface treatment of metals or with metals C23; treatment of textiles D06)
 B44D

Note(s)

This subclass deals with the covering of surfaces or parts thereof with liquids, semi-liquids or powders, or treatment of surfaces, in so far as such treatment is

  1. not fully classifiable in another class or sub-class, such as a class providing for the tool or apparatus used, e.g. grinding apparatus B24, the process used, e.g. etching C23B, C23F, or the substance forming the surface, e.g. glass C03C, stone B28D, C04B or
  2. used in a special way to produce an effect meant to be judged by the ete, or to give the surface a particular physical quality, e.g. a matt surface, receptivity to ink or adhesive.
