Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If designed primarily for dry battery cells
Battery carbons have different physical characteristics and end-use, separating them from lighting arc carbons.
If shaped natural graphite blocks without metal impregnation
Articles of natural graphite not specifically for electrical arc purposes fall under natural graphite heading.
If containing tall oil fatty acids for electrode preparation
Preparations containing carbon with specific chemical tall oil components shift to preparations heading.
