Heterocyclic compounds; containing an unfused triazine ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure, melamine

HS v2017 Code: 293361

About heterocyclic compounds; containing an unfused triazine ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure, melamine

HS code 293361 covers heterocyclic compounds containing an unfused triazine ring, including melamine. This class of chemicals is essential for the production of a wide range of industrial and consumer products, from plastics and resins to laminates and flame retardants. As a key input for numerous industries, the melamine and related compounds described by this code play a vital role in the global economy.

Production process

Melamine and other heterocyclic compounds under HS code 293361 are typically produced through a multi-step chemical synthesis process. The primary production method involves the reaction of urea with formaldehyde under controlled temperature and pressure conditions to form the melamine molecule. Further processing and purification steps may be required depending on the specific end-use application.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of melamine and related heterocyclic compounds include urea, formaldehyde, and various catalysts and solvents. Specialized production equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and drying systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, reliable energy sources and skilled labor are necessary to ensure efficient and safe production.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 293361 are melamine and other heterocyclic compounds containing the triazine ring structure. These chemicals are widely used as raw materials in the production of 392010 plastic laminates, 392071 melamine resins, and 380610 rosin and rosin derivatives, among other applications. The outputs of this industry are crucial inputs for a diverse range of downstream industries, including construction, furniture, and electronics.
