Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If predominantly ruthenium/iridium content by value
MMO coatings where precious metal value exceeds graphite base may classify under powders of base metals.
If parts of complete welder/brazing electrolytic equipment
Specialized anodes for industrial welding power sources classify with complete electrical apparatus.
If sold primarily as precious metal chemical preparations
MMO coatings imported mainly for their chemical catalytic properties classify under inorganic compounds.
