Dyes; basic dyes and preparations based thereon

HS v2017 Code: 320413

About dyes; basic dyes and preparations based thereon

HS code 320413 covers the production and trade of basic dyes and preparations based on these dyes. Basic dyes are an important class of colorants used in a wide range of industries, including textiles, plastics, and cosmetics. They are known for their intense, vibrant colors and excellent coloring properties. The global basic dyes market is a significant component of the broader dyes and pigments industry, which plays a crucial role in supporting various manufacturing sectors and consumer goods production.

Production process

The production of basic dyes typically involves a multi-step chemical synthesis process. This often starts with the reaction of aromatic compounds, such as aniline or phenol derivatives, with other reagents to form the core dye structure. Further modifications, such as the introduction of functional groups, are then carried out to impart the desired color and properties. The final dye products may be formulated into various preparations, such as powders, pastes, or solutions, to facilitate their application and use in downstream industries.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of basic dyes under HS code 320413 include aromatic organic compounds, such as benzene, toluene, and their derivatives, as well as various other chemical reagents and catalysts. Additionally, specialized production equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and drying systems, are necessary to carry out the complex synthesis and purification processes. Energy, water, and skilled labor are also important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the basic dyes industry covered by HS code 320413 are the dye products themselves, which are then consumed by various downstream industries. These include the 5407 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn industry, the 3904 Polymers of vinyl chloride or of other halogenated olefins, in primary forms industry, and the 3305 Preparations for use on the hair, among others. The basic dyes produced under this code serve as essential colorants and inputs for a wide range of manufactured goods and consumer products.
