2-Benzothiazolethiol Sodium Salt Solution 50%

50% aqueous solution of sodium 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, where the solvent is added solely for safe transport per Chapter 29 note (d). Still classified as the pure compound under HTS 2934.20.20.00, not as a preparation, due to the specific allowance for dilutions. Used in water-based rubber processing.
