Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pure boron content emphasized
Borides of specific metals sometimes classified under 2840.
If sodium sulfides present as stabilizer
Stabilized borohydrides may fall under sodium sulfides heading.
If 15%+ organic stabilizers added
Mixtures exceeding purity thresholds become chemical preparations.
