Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If used as finishing agents
Textile finishing preparations containing polymers classify separately
If pigment printing pastes
Formulations with pigments become synthetic organic coloring matter
If high polysaccharide modification
Cellulose derivative dominant polymers shift to polysaccharide heading
