Acids; aromatic monocarboxylic acids, benzoyl peroxide and benzoyl chloride

HS v2017 Code: 291632

About acids; aromatic monocarboxylic acids, benzoyl peroxide and benzoyl chloride

HS code 291632 covers a range of aromatic monocarboxylic acids, including benzoic acid and its derivatives. These chemicals are widely used in the production of various consumer and industrial products, making them an essential part of the global chemical industry. They find applications in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, plastics, and other specialty chemicals, contributing significantly to the overall economy.

Production process

The production of aromatic monocarboxylic acids, such as those covered under HS code 291632, typically involves the oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene or xylene. This process is often carried out using catalysts and controlled temperature and pressure conditions to ensure the desired product quality and yield. The resulting acids may then undergo further chemical modifications or purification steps, depending on the specific end-use requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aromatic monocarboxylic acids under HS code 291632 include aromatic hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as 271011 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude, as well as various catalysts, solvents, and energy sources. Specialized production equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 291632 are aromatic monocarboxylic acids, such as benzoic acid, and their derivatives, including benzoyl peroxide and benzoyl chloride. These chemicals are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 300490 Medicaments consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale, 330499 Cosmetic and toilet preparations, not elsewhere specified or included, and 390690 Acrylic polymers, in primary forms, n.e.s., among others.
