Ethylvanillin Technical Grade
Technical-grade ethylvanillin with 95-97% purity for fragrance compounding and non-food applications. Despite lower purity, it is still a separate chemically defined organic compound under Chapter 29 Note 1(a), as impurities do not preclude classification; it is not rendered suitable for a specific use by the impurities.
