Rubber accelerators; prepared

HS v2017 Code: 381210

About rubber accelerators; prepared

HS code 381210 covers the production of rubber accelerators, which are chemical compounds used in the manufacturing of rubber products. These accelerators play a crucial role in the vulcanization process, where they help speed up the chemical reaction that transforms raw rubber into a durable, elastic material. The rubber accelerators industry is an integral part of the broader rubber and plastics manufacturing sector, which is a significant contributor to the global economy.

Production process

The production of rubber accelerators typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, which may include organic chemicals, inorganic compounds, and various additives, are carefully measured and mixed together. The mixture is then heated and subjected to a series of chemical reactions, during which the accelerators are formed. The final product is then cooled, filtered, and packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of rubber accelerators include organic chemicals such as benzothiazole derivatives, thiuram compounds, and guanidine derivatives, as well as inorganic compounds like zinc oxide and sulfur. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as mixing tanks, reactors, and filtration systems, are necessary for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the rubber accelerators industry is, of course, the accelerators themselves, which are then consumed by the 400110 Natural rubber and 400120 Synthetic rubber industries for the production of a wide range of rubber products, including tires, hoses, seals, and other industrial and consumer goods.
