About casein, caseinates and other casein derivatives; casein glues

HS code 3501 covers the production and trade of casein, caseinates, and other casein derivatives, as well as casein glues. Casein is a protein derived from milk, and it has a wide range of industrial applications, from food processing to adhesives and coatings. This industry plays a crucial role in the global dairy and food manufacturing sectors, providing essential ingredients and materials for a variety of consumer and industrial products.

Production process

The production of casein and its derivatives typically involves the separation and purification of the casein protein from milk. This is commonly achieved through acidification or enzymatic coagulation, followed by washing, drying, and further processing to obtain the desired casein-based products. Manufacturers may also chemically modify the casein to create specialized derivatives with unique properties and functionalities.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the casein industry include raw milk, as well as various chemicals and processing equipment. Dairy farms and milk collection centers provide the essential raw material, while manufacturers rely on specialized machinery for separation, drying, and other processing steps. Depending on the specific casein products, additional inputs such as acids, bases, or other additives may be required.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the casein industry include casein, caseinates, and other casein derivatives, which are used in a wide range of applications. These products may be consumed by the 1901 Food industries, 3506 Prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, 3917 Plastics, and 3920 Other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, among others. Casein-based glues and adhesives are particularly important in the 4401 Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal and 4802 (Uncoated paper and paperboard, of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes, and non-perforated punch-cards and punch tape paper, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size) industries.
