Anti-knock preparations, oxidation and gum inhibitors, viscosity improvers, anti-corrosive preparations and the like, for mineral oils (including gasoline) or other liquids used for the same purposes
HS v2017 Code: 3811
About anti-knock preparations, oxidation and gum inhibitors, viscosity improvers, anti-corrosive preparations and the like, for mineral oils (including gasoline) or other liquids used for the same purposes
HS code 3811 covers a range of chemical additives used to improve the performance and longevity of mineral oils, including gasoline, diesel, and other lubricants. These additives play a crucial role in the automotive and industrial sectors, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of machinery and engines. As the global demand for energy and transportation continues to grow, the importance of this industry in supporting the broader economy cannot be overstated.
Production process
The production of HS code 3811 additives typically involves a multi-step chemical synthesis process. Key steps may include the reaction of various organic compounds, such as phenols, amines, and carboxylic acids, with mineral oil fractions or other base stocks. The resulting compounds are then further refined and blended to achieve the desired performance characteristics, such as improved resistance to oxidation, reduced engine deposits, and enhanced viscosity properties.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 3811 additives include a range of organic chemicals, such as 2907 Phenols, 2921 Amines, and 2915 Carboxylic acids. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the various stages of the production process, as well as a skilled workforce with expertise in chemical engineering and formulation.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the HS code 3811 industry are a diverse range of additives that are used to enhance the performance and longevity of mineral oils and other liquid fuels. These additives are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries, including 2710 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils, 8407 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines, and 8408 (Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines)).
