Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-mixed in paint base
Coating preparations containing melamine classify as paints regardless of content
If isolated methoxymethyl compounds
Pure chemical derivatives without polymer structure go to Chapter 29
If significant polyurethane copolymer
Blends where polyurethane predominates classify under polyurethane subheading
