About esters; other than thiophosphoric esters (phosphorothioates) and phosphite esters and their salts, their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, n.e.c. in heading no. 2920

HS code 292090 covers a diverse range of organic chemical compounds known as esters. Esters are essential in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, plastics, and personal care products. They play a crucial role in the global economy, with widespread applications and significant trade volumes across international borders.

Production process

Esters are typically produced through a chemical reaction between an alcohol and an acid, known as esterification. This process involves the removal of a water molecule, resulting in the formation of the ester compound. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the type of ester being produced, but generally involve careful control of temperature, pressure, and reaction time to optimize yield and purity.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of esters under HS code 292090 include a variety of alcohols and acids, as well as specialized catalysts and solvents. Depending on the desired ester, the specific raw materials can range from simple aliphatic compounds to more complex aromatic or cyclic structures. Additionally, manufacturers may require specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products.

Production outputs

Esters produced under HS code 292090 have a wide range of applications and can be consumed by various other industries. These esters may be used as solvents, plasticizers, fragrances, and intermediates in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other consumer goods. Some of the related HS codes that may consume the outputs of this industry include 2909 (Ethers, ether-alcohols, ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols, alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, ketone peroxides (whether or not chemically defined), and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives), 2915 Saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, and 2916 Unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids, cyclic monocarboxylic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives.
