Stabilized Phosgene Solution 20% in Toluene from Mexico
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.
