Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for dioctyl terephthalate esters of terephthalic acid
Terephthalic (1,4-) vs orthophthalic (1,2-) dicarboxylic acid isomers have distinct headings.
If pre-reacted into PVC plastisol compounds
PVC plastisols containing incorporated plasticizers become Chapter 39 polymers.
If saturated aliphatic polycarboxylic acid esters
Chapter 29 subchapter structure separates aromatic (2917) from saturated acyclic acids (2915).
