Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hexene content exceeds 5% or undefined
Fails specific copolymer threshold, defaults to residual 'Other' for ethylene polymers.
If polypropylene predominates in blend
Blends classified by weight-dominant monomer; propylene shifts to heading 3902.
If prepared as polymer blend with additives
Composite preparations with >50% polymers but mixed uses go to 3824 chemical preparations.
