Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If diluted for specific lab extraction kits
Prepared mixtures for lab use shift to chemical preparations in 3824.
If with added emetic for safety
Safety additives within note g stay here; excess to other derivatives.
If recovered from waste streams
Petroleum-derived recovered solvents may classify under chapter 27 hydrocarbons.
