Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-dispersed in water or solvent
Liquid dispersions are paint binders, not primary polymers.
If PVDF copolymer variant
Other fluoropolymers like polyvinylidene fluoride have specific subheadings.
If formulated as lubricant concentrate
Lubricating preparations exclude pure polymers.
