Phosgene Laboratory Grade
High-purity phosgene gas in a small lecture bottle for research and analytical laboratory use. It is classified as carbonyl dichloride, a chemically defined chloride oxide of carbon, under heading 28.12 per Chapter 28 Note 2(a).
Stabilized Phosgene Solution 20% in Toluene
A 20% phosgene solution stabilized in toluene for safe handling in pharmaceutical synthesis. The primary component is chemically defined phosgene, but the solution is not a normal and necessary method of putting up phosgene for safety or transport, so it may not meet Chapter 28 Note 1(c) criteria. However, it is still classified under heading 28.12 as a chloride oxide of carbon per Note 2(a), provided the solvent does not render it suitable for specific use.
