Mixed CFC/HCFC Foam Blowing Agent
Blend of CFCs like R-11 with HCFC-141b for polyurethane foam production in insulation panels. Falls under 3827.11.00.00 because it contains CFCs along with other fluorocarbons as a propane/methane derivative mixture.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If HCFC-only without any CFCs
Absence of CFCs shifts to other halogenated mixtures subheading.
If pre-polymerized into foam chemical
If chemically modified into polymers, it becomes Chapter 39 plastics.
If classified as organic derivative intermediate
Pure intermediates may fall under Chapter 29 if not final mixture.
