Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified primarily by its unsaturated oleic acid chain
Unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid esters can fall under 2916 when the acid function dominates classification.
If imported as a formulated surfactant for detergents
Surface-active preparations containing glycerol ethers shift to Chapter 34.
