Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If diluted with hydrocarbons for broad retail solvent use
Mixtures not qualifying as transport-safety solutions under Chapter 29 note (e) go to preparations in 3824.
If halogenated acyclic hydrocarbons not elsewhere specified
If isomer doesn't match exact dichloropentafluoropropane structure, falls to 2903.59 basket provision.
If formulated into fire-extinguishing charges
Chapter 29 explicitly excludes fire extinguisher preparations per note (k), directing to 3813.
