Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons
HS v2017 Code: 2903
About halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons
HS code 2903 covers a diverse range of halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds containing one or more halogen atoms (such as chlorine, bromine, or fluorine) bonded to a hydrocarbon backbone. These compounds play a crucial role in various industries, including chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and refrigeration. They are widely used as solvents, intermediates, and building blocks for the production of a wide array of products that are essential to modern life.
Production process
The production of halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons typically involves a series of chemical reactions, such as halogenation, substitution, and addition. These processes are carried out in specialized chemical plants and facilities, often using advanced equipment and carefully controlled conditions to ensure product quality and safety. The specific techniques employed can vary depending on the target compound and the desired properties.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons include hydrocarbon feedstocks (such as 2901 Acyclic hydrocarbons, 2902 Cyclic hydrocarbons, and 2903 Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons), as well as various halogen sources (such as chlorine, bromine, or fluorine). Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, as well as a skilled workforce to operate and maintain the production facilities.
Production outputs
The halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons produced under HS code 2903 have a wide range of applications and are used as inputs for the manufacture of numerous other products. These compounds can be further processed and incorporated into 2904 Sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons, whether or not halogenated, 2905 Acyclic alcohols and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, 2906 Cyclic alcohols and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, and 2907 Phenols; phenol-alcohols, among other classifications.
