Industrial Grade Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl Methacrylate (DCPMA-IG)
Industrial grade DCPMA for bulk resin production, specifically identified in HTS 2916.14.10.00. The lower purity specification still qualifies as the chemically defined compound of Chapter 29.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as viscous oligomer or low molecular weight polymer
Acrylic polymers, even low molecular weight, fall under Chapter 39 rather than monomer classification.
If saturated analog without reactive double bond
Saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid esters fall under heading 2915.
If blended with hydrocarbon solvents for viscosity adjustment
Solvent-containing preparations exceeding Chapter 29 note (e) limitations classified as chemical mixtures.

Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl Methacrylate Monomer
Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl methacrylate is a specific unsaturated acrylic ester classified under HTS 2916.14.10.00 as an ester of methacrylic acid with a dicyclopentenyl oxyethyl group. This chemically defined organic compound is used primarily in polymer synthesis for specialty resins and coatings.
Purified Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl Methacrylate (DCPMA)
High-purity DCPMA (CAS 79752-12-0) is a methacrylic acid ester specifically named in HTS 2916.14.10.00. Used in radiation-curable inks and adhesives due to its reactive double bond and bulky dicyclopentenyl group providing hydrolytic resistance.
Stabilized Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl Methacrylate Resin Precursor
This stabilized version of dicyclopentenyloxyethyl methacrylate contains MEHQ inhibitor as permitted by Chapter 29 note (f). It remains classified under HTS 2916.14.10.00 as the specific methacrylic ester rather than a mixture.
