PeBDO/PBT Masterbatch Concentrate 50% Loading
This masterbatch concentrate contains 50% PeBDO (pentabromodiphenyl oxide) in a PBT resin carrier. Although primarily PeBDO, the product may be challenged by customs as a mixture rather than a pure chemical compound. Classification under tariff item 2909.30.00 depends on whether the aromatic ether imparts the essential character.
