Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If urea-formaldehyde dominant
Subheading based on predominant monomer; urea units > melamine shifts classification
If copolymer with silicone
Silicone resins have separate heading regardless of blend proportions
If varnish solutions containing melamine
Solvent-based coating preparations move to paints chapter
