Alcohols; acyclic, unsaturated monohydric, (other than acyclic terpene alcohols)

HS v2017 Code: 290529

About alcohols; acyclic, unsaturated monohydric, (other than acyclic terpene alcohols)

HS code 290529 covers a range of acyclic, unsaturated monohydric alcohols, excluding acyclic terpene alcohols. These alcohols are important chemical building blocks used in the production of a variety of consumer and industrial products. They play a crucial role in the broader chemical industry, contributing to the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, personal care items, solvents, and other essential goods.

Production process

The production of the alcohols covered under HS code 290529 typically involves the catalytic hydration of unsaturated hydrocarbons, such as alkenes. This process is often carried out using acidic or basic catalysts to facilitate the addition of a hydroxyl group (-OH) to the carbon-carbon double bond. Distillation and purification steps may follow to obtain the desired alcohol product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the alcohols under HS code 290529 include unsaturated hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as 290123 Alkenes, unsaturated, as well as catalysts, energy sources, and various processing equipment. Depending on the specific alcohol being produced, additional inputs like hydrogen or other reagents may be necessary.

Production outputs

The alcohols classified under HS code 290529 are used as intermediates in the production of a wide range of chemicals and consumer goods. They may be further processed or combined with other compounds to create 340211 Organic surface-active agents, 382490 Chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, and 293723 Hormones, prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes, natural or reproduced by synthesis, among other products.
