Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as complete tanning formulation
Chapter 29 explicitly excludes synthetic tanning agent preparations regardless of glyoxal content.
If sodium bisulfite adduct form
Saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid derivatives classify under later oxygen-function heading.
If fat-liquoring mixture component
Leather dressing/processing preparations containing glyoxal classify as mixtures.
