Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If esterified with saturated acyclic acids
Esters of polyhydric alcohols with acids are classified with the later-heading acid-function compound per Chapter 29 ester rule (A).
If derived as a glycerol byproduct and not purified
Crude glycerol or similar polyol byproducts are excluded from Chapter 29 by note (a) and go to Chapter 15.
