Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If saturated acyclic isomer mixture
Chapter note excludes acyclic hydrocarbon isomers from Chapter 29, directing them to Chapter 27, but pure biphenyl remains cyclic.
If used directly as fluorescent brightener
Synthetic organic products as luminophores classify in 3204, not as base hydrocarbons in Chapter 29.
