Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If derivatives/salts other than those specifically named
Only enumerated compounds fall in .10; other derivatives go to statistical suffix .50.
If when used directly as synthetic dye intermediate in final form
If put up specifically for dye production, may classify as synthetic organic coloring matter.
If supplied as polymerisation initiator
Certain polyamines used in polymer production classify with polymer additives.
