Monophenols; naphthols and their salts
HS v2017 Code: 290715
About monophenols; naphthols and their salts
HS code 290715 covers a group of organic compounds known as monophenols and naphthols, as well as their salts. These substances play a crucial role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, dyes, and specialty chemicals. As an important part of the broader organic chemicals sector, the production and trade of these compounds contribute significantly to the global economy.
Production process
The production of monophenols, naphthols, and their salts typically involves chemical synthesis processes. Key steps may include hydrogenation, oxidation, or other reactions using appropriate starting materials and catalysts. Manufacturers must carefully control temperature, pressure, and other parameters to ensure the desired product quality and yield.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 290715 items include various aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, or naphthalene, as well as other organic chemicals and reagents. Specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Skilled labor and energy resources are additional important inputs.
Production outputs
The outputs of HS code 290715 are primarily used as intermediates in the production of other chemicals, such as 290712 Cresols and 290713 Octylphenol, nonylphenol and their isomers; salts thereof. These monophenols and naphthols may also be used directly in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and various specialty products. The outputs of this industry are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 300 Pharmaceutical products, 320 Tanning or dyeing extracts; tannins and their derivatives; dyes, pigments and other coloring matter; paints and varnishes; putty and other mastics; inks, and 390 Plastics and articles thereof.
