HS v2017 Code: 381700

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

HS code 381700 covers a diverse range of organic chemical compounds known as mixed alkylbenzenes and mixed alkylnaphthalenes. These compounds are widely used in various industries, including detergents, lubricants, and fuel additives. They play a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential inputs for a wide range of products and processes.

Production process

The production of mixed alkylbenzenes and mixed alkylnaphthalenes typically involves a multi-step process. The first step is the alkylation of benzene or naphthalene with various alkyl groups, such as methyl, ethyl, or propyl groups. This is often done using catalysts and high temperatures to facilitate the reaction. The resulting mixture of alkylated compounds is then separated and purified using distillation or other separation techniques.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of mixed alkylbenzenes and mixed alkylnaphthalenes include benzene, naphthalene, and various alkyl groups. Additionally, catalysts, energy sources, and specialized equipment, such as reactors and distillation columns, are necessary for the production process. The availability and cost of these raw materials and resources can significantly impact the industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 381700 are the mixed alkylbenzenes and mixed alkylnaphthalenes themselves. These compounds are then used as intermediates in the production of other chemicals, such as 340220 Detergents and washing preparations, 271220 Lubricating oils, and 381700 Fuel additives. The outputs of this industry are essential for maintaining the functionality and performance of a wide range of consumer and industrial products.
