Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If crude castor derivatives before full distillation
Chapter 15 covers incomplete castor oil derivatives; purified acid is Chapter 29.
If industrial fatty acid distillates containing sebacic
Industrial monocarboxylic mixtures; polycarboxylic purity moves to 2917.
If saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid error
Sebacic is di- (poly-); monoacids use 2915.
