The product is composed of iron oxyhydroxides, hydrated alumina, sodalite, quartz, cancrinite, calcium carbonates and hydroxycarbonates, magnesium hydroxides and hydroxycarbonates, titanium oxides, and water.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
