Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If cyclic hydrocarbons with nitro side chain
Purely hydrocarbon-based nitro compounds might classify earlier in Chapter 29, but nitrobenzene's nitrogen function prevails.
If mixed with other chemicals for specific use
Mixtures not qualifying as chemically defined under Chapter 29 notes shift to Chapter 38 prepared binders or mixtures.
