Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pure methanol without denaturants
Undenatured methanol for wastewater use would classify under the pure methanol subheading.
If nutrient mixtures with mineral components
Methanol combined with mineral nutrients for biological treatment may classify as fertilizer mixtures.
If ready-to-use treatment chemicals
Pre-mixed wastewater treatment formulations classify as prepared chemical binders rather than pure alcohols.
