Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified primarily by polyhydric alcohol ether structure
Certain alcohol ethers with acetate groups may fall under earlier Chapter 29 headings per numerical order rule.
If supplied as diluted solution for safety transport
Solutions where solvent renders product suitable for specific use classified under Chapter 38 per Chapter Note 2(e).
If containing nitrogen impurities affecting chemical definition
Presence of nitrogen functions shifts classification to later Chapter 29 headings per note on numerical order.
