Products classified under HTS 2907.12.00.00
p-Cresol (4-Methylphenol)
p-Cresol is a monophenolic compound with the formula CH3C6H4OH, specifically the para isomer of methylphenol, classified under HTS 2907.12.00.00 as a cresol. It is a chemically defined organic compound used in resin production and as a disinfectant intermediate.
o-Cresol (2-Methylphenol)
o-Cresol, or 2-methylphenol, is an ortho-substituted monophenol fitting HTS 2907.12.00.00 for cresols and their salts. This chemically defined compound serves as a precursor in pesticides and synthetic resins.
m-Cresol (3-Methylphenol)
m-Cresol, known as 3-methylphenol, is a meta-isomer monophenol under HTS 2907.12.00.00 as a cresol. It functions in antioxidant production and as a wood preservative intermediate.
Cresol Mixture (Ortho/Para/Meta Blend)
A commercial cresol mixture containing ortho, para, and meta isomers qualifies under HTS 2907.12.00.00 for cresols, as it consists of isomers of the same organic compound per chapter note (b). Used in disinfectants and synthetic musk production.
Sodium Cresylate (Cresol Sodium Salt)
Sodium cresylate is the sodium salt of cresols (mixed isomers), classified under HTS 2907.12.00.00 per chapter note on salts of organic compounds. It is a water-soluble form used in phenolic soaps and antiseptics.
Potassium o-Cresolate
Potassium o-cresolate, the potassium salt of o-cresol, falls under HTS 2907.12.00.00 for cresol salts as per chapter classification rules for organic salts. Applied in organic synthesis and as a catalyst.
Technical Grade Cresols (95% Purity)
Technical grade cresols at 95% purity with minor impurities still qualify as chemically defined under HTS 2907.12.00.00 per chapter note (a). Commonly used in wire enamel resins and herbicides.
p-Cresol Flakes (Solid Form)
Solid p-cresol in flake form is a crystallized monophenol classified under HTS 2907.12.00.00. It is employed in fragrance synthesis and polymer additives.
Cresols with Stabilizer (BHT Added)
Cresols stabilized with BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) for preservation qualify under HTS 2907.12.00.00 per chapter note (f) for added stabilizers. Used in long-shelf-life industrial formulations.
High-Purity o-Cresol (99.5%)
High-purity o-cresol at 99.5% is a refined monophenol under HTS 2907.12.00.00, ideal for pharmaceutical intermediates like vitamin E synthesis.
