Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing >70% petroleum distillates
Hydrocarbon mixtures exceed Chapter 29 purity requirements and classify as petroleum products.
If for use as paint/ink solvent additive
Organic composite solvents prepared for specific end-use fall outside pure Chapter 29 compounds.
If esterified as benzyl acetate
Per Chapter 29 note 4(A), esters classify with the acid-function compound occurring later numerically.
