Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as mixture with solvents exceeding 50% by weight
Solvent-dissolved forms may classify under halogenated/quaternized hydrocarbons if not meeting Chapter 29 purity notes.
If for technical grade with impurities >2% or anti-dusting agents
Preparations not meeting 'chemically defined' criteria in Chapter 29 note (a) fall to mixtures chapter.
