Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If it's a specific isomer or derivative listed earlier
Statistical suffixes for particular lactams precede the 'other' category per numerical order rule.
If polymerized into nylon-6 resin
Polymerized forms become acrylic polymers under chapter 39, not monomers.
