Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2909.49.20Higher: 28.7% vs 3.7%

If glycidol content <50%

Glycidol epoxy function classifies under 2909 when predominant

3824Higher: 15% vs 3.7%

If distillation bottoms >5% impurities

Excess impurities shift to industrial waste mixtures of 3824

2915.90.50Higher: 28.8% vs 3.7%

If saturated carboxylic byproducts >30%

Oxygen function priority under 2915 supersedes heterocyclic structure
