Mixed alkylbenzenes and mixed alkylnaphthalenes, other than those of heading no. 2707 or 2902

HS v2017 Code: 3817

About mixed alkylbenzenes and mixed alkylnaphthalenes, other than those of heading no. 2707 or 2902

HS code 3817 covers a group of organic compounds known as mixed alkylbenzenes and mixed alkylnaphthalenes. These compounds are widely used as solvents, detergents, and intermediates in the production of various chemicals. They play a crucial role in the broader chemical industry, with applications ranging from industrial cleaning to the manufacture of plastics, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products.

Production process

The production of mixed alkylbenzenes and mixed alkylnaphthalenes typically involves the alkylation of benzene or naphthalene with various alkyl groups. This process is commonly carried out using catalytic reactions, such as Friedel-Crafts alkylation, where the alkyl group is added to the aromatic ring. The specific production techniques may vary depending on the desired composition and properties of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of mixed alkylbenzenes and mixed alkylnaphthalenes include benzene, naphthalene, and various alkyl groups (such as methyl, ethyl, or propyl groups). Additionally, catalysts, solvents, and other auxiliary chemicals may be used in the production process. Specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing of these compounds.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 3817 are the mixed alkylbenzenes and mixed alkylnaphthalenes themselves. These compounds find applications in a wide range of industries, including 3402 Organic surface-active agents, 3901 Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms, and 3808 Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting products and plant-growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products.
