Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as pure HFC-125 component
Pure pentafluoroethane falls under 2903.41 as a single halogenated derivative, not a mixture.
If marketed for non-refrigerant industrial solvent use
Mixtures prepared as chemical preparations for specific uses outside refrigerants may shift to 3824.
If sold as anti-freeze preparation with additives
Antifreeze formulations containing HFCs with functional additives classify under 3811 for prepared liquids.
