Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If compounded with unsaturated polyester resins for industrial use
Polymer mixtures containing montan wax shift to plastics chapter.
If for ozokerite (earth wax) pellets mistaken for montan
Ozokerite, another mineral wax, has dedicated subheading based on different geological source.
If chemically modified with heterocycles for specialty applications
Heterocyclic compound derivatives of waxes fall under organic chemicals.

Crude Montan Wax Blocks
Unrefined montan wax extracted from brown coal (lignite), formed into blocks for further processing in wax emulsions. Classified under HTS 2712.90.1000 specifically as montan wax, meeting chapter definitions for lignite-derived mineral waxes obtained by synthesis or other processes. Suitable for leather and textile treatments.
Refined Montan Wax Flakes
Montan wax in flake form, derived from lignite through solvent extraction and refining processes, used primarily in industrial applications like polish formulation. It falls under HTS 2712.90.1000 as montan wax, a specific type of mineral wax obtained from lignite, distinct from other petroleum waxes. This classification applies regardless of color due to its synthesis process.
Montan Wax Emulsion Paste
Montan wax processed into a water-emulsifiable paste for use in carnauba wax blends and industrial coatings. It qualifies for HTS 2712.90.1000 as montan wax, a lignite-derived product, even when partially emulsified but retaining core wax properties. Commonly used in furniture polishes.
Montan Wax Powder
Micronized montan wax powder for rubber processing and mold release agents, produced via lignite de-ashing. Classified in HTS 2712.90.1000 for its status as montan wax, a chapter 27 mineral product obtained by other processes. Particle size under 50 microns for dispersion.
Colored Montan Wax Sticks
