Rosin and resin; salts of rosin, of resin acids or of derivatives of rosin or resin acids, other than salts of rosin adducts

HS v2017 Code: 380620

About rosin and resin; salts of rosin, of resin acids or of derivatives of rosin or resin acids, other than salts of rosin adducts

HS code 380620 covers a diverse range of chemical products derived from natural resins and rosin. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, including adhesives, coatings, printing inks, and even pharmaceuticals. As a key component in many essential products, the global trade and production of these rosin-based chemicals are of significant economic importance.

Production process

The production of rosin and resin salts covered under HS code 380620 typically involves the extraction and purification of natural resins, followed by chemical modifications to create the desired derivatives. Common techniques include distillation, fractionation, and various esterification or neutralization processes to produce the final products.

Production inputs

The primary raw materials for this industry are natural resins, such as gum rosin, wood rosin, and tall oil rosin, which are obtained from pine trees and other coniferous sources. In addition, the production process requires various chemical reagents, catalysts, and specialized equipment like distillation columns and reactors.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are a wide range of rosin and resin derivatives, including salts of rosin, resin acids, and their derivatives. These products find applications in 380620 Rosin and resin; salts of rosin, of resin acids or of derivatives of rosin or resin acids, other than salts of rosin adducts, 380610 Rosin and resin acids, 380590 Gum, wood or sulphate turpentine and other terpenic oils, and other related HS codes.
