Pentabromoethylbenzene
Pentabromoethylbenzene is a halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon featuring a benzene ring substituted with five bromine atoms and an ethyl group. It falls under HTS 2903.99.23.00 as a specific chemically defined halogenated derivative of aromatic hydrocarbons, distinct from other brominated compounds.
Technical Grade Pentabromoethylbenzene
Technical grade pentabromoethylbenzene contains minor impurities but remains a separate chemically defined organic compound. Classified under HTS 2903.99.23.00 per chapter notes allowing impurities in halogenated aromatic derivatives.
Stabilized Pentabromoethylbenzene with Antioxidant
Pentabromoethylbenzene stabilized with an anticaking agent or antioxidant for preservation during storage and transport. Remains classified under HTS 2903.99.23.00 as per chapter note (f) allowing necessary stabilizers.
Anti-Dusting Pentabromoethylbenzene
Pentabromoethylbenzene treated with an anti-dusting agent for safe handling and identification. Classified in HTS 2903.99.23.00 under chapter note (g) as long as additions are solely for safety and do not confer specific use suitability.
Pentabromoethylbenzene 98% Pure
98% pure pentabromoethylbenzene suitable for chemical synthesis, with impurities not altering its chemical definition. Directly matches HTS 2903.99.23.00 for this specific halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon.
