Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chlorodifluoromethane derivatives
Fluorine-halogen combinations have separate provisions; pure pentachlorobenzene lacks fluorine.
If intentionally mixed as fertilizer diazotizing agent
Chapter exclusions send certain dilutions for dye/fertilizer production to Chapter 31.
