    <text>In this section, “commingled goods” means goods that are physically united with other goods in such a manner that their identity is lost in a product or mass.</text>
  </level>
  <level label="b">
    <text>A security interest does not exist in commingled goods as such. However, a security interest may attach to a product or mass that results when goods become commingled goods.</text>
  </level>
  <level label="c">
    <text>If collateral becomes commingled goods, a security interest attaches to the product or mass.</text>
  </level>
  <level label="d">
    <text>If a security interest in collateral is perfected before the collateral becomes commingled goods, the security interest that attaches to the product or mass under subsection (c) is perfected.</text>
  </level>
  <level label="e">
    <text>Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f), the other provisions of this part determine the priority of a security interest that attaches to the product or mass under subsection (c).</text>
  </level>
  <level label="f">
    <text>If more than one security interest attaches to the product or mass under subsection (c), the following rules determine priority:</text>
    <level label="1">
      <text>A security interest that is perfected under subsection (d) has priority over a security interest that is unperfected at the time the collateral becomes commingled goods.</text>
    </level>
    <level label="2">
      <text>If more than one security interest is perfected under subsection (d), the security interests rank equally in proportion to the value of the collateral at the time it became commingled goods.</text>
