Cosmetic Grade Isopropyl Alcohol
Cosmetic grade isopropyl alcohol for use in perfumes, lotions, and cosmetic formulations as a solvent and antimicrobial agent. The cosmetic end-use does not affect classification; it remains a chemically defined saturated monohydric acyclic alcohol under 2905.12.00.
Cosmetic Grade Propan-1-ol
This is propan-1-ol refined for cosmetic applications, with a low odour profile and permitted stabilizers. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound under Chapter 29 Note 1(a), and the added stabilizers are permitted under Note 1(f) if necessary for preservation. The product falls under tariff item 2905.12.00 as propan-1-ol, regardless of its cosmetic end-use.
Electronic Grade Isopropyl Alcohol
Ultra-high purity isopropyl alcohol (99.999%) for semiconductor wafer cleaning and electronics manufacturing. Despite its specialized use, it is a chemically defined propan-2-ol and is classified under 2905.12.00 as a saturated monohydric acyclic alcohol.
Electronic Grade Propyl Alcohol
This is semiconductor-grade propan-1-ol with extremely low metal ion content (<1ppb) for electronics manufacturing. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound under Chapter 29 Note 1(a), classified in tariff item 2905.12.00 as propan-1-ol. The high purity grade does not change its chemical classification.
Industrial Isopropyl Alcohol 99%
Technical-grade isopropyl alcohol at 99% purity for manufacturing, extraction, and cleaning processes. As a chemically defined saturated monohydric acyclic alcohol, it is classified under 2905.12.00, not excluded by any Chapter 29 note.
Industrial Propyl Alcohol 99.5%
This is technical-grade propan-1-ol at 99.5% purity for solvent applications in paints and coatings. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound under Chapter 29 Note 1(a), classified in tariff item 2905.12.00 as a saturated monohydric acyclic alcohol. The technical grade does not affect its chemical classification.
