HS v2017 Code: 382410

About binders, prepared; for foundry moulds or cores

HS code 382410 covers the production of prepared binders used in the foundry industry for the creation of moulds and cores. These binders play a crucial role in the manufacturing of metal castings, helping to shape and hold the molten metal during the casting process. The foundry industry is an integral part of the broader manufacturing sector, providing essential components and parts for a wide range of industries, from automotive to construction. The demand for high-quality, reliable binders is therefore a key driver for this specialized market.

Production process

The production of prepared binders for foundry moulds and cores typically involves the blending and formulation of various chemical compounds, such as resins, catalysts, and additives. These components are carefully measured and mixed to create a binder with the desired properties, such as strength, heat resistance, and curing time. The binder is then packaged and distributed to foundries, where it is used in the mould-making process. Precise control over the production parameters is crucial to ensure the binder meets the stringent quality and performance requirements of the foundry industry.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 382410 binders include a range of raw materials, such as 3824 (Prepared binders, not elsewhere specified or included); foundry binders) resins, catalysts, and various chemical additives. Specialized production equipment, such as blending tanks, mixers, and packaging machinery, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in chemical formulation and quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 382410 is prepared binders for use in foundry moulds and cores. These binders are then consumed by 8480 (Moulding boxes for metal foundry; mould bases; moulding patterns; moulds for metal (other than ingot moulds), metal carbides, glass, mineral materials, rubber or plastics) foundries, where they are used in the production of various metal castings. The binders help to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the final cast products, which are then used in a wide range of industries, including 8701 (Tractors (other than tractors of heading 8709)) agriculture, 8702 Motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons, including the driver transportation, and 8703 (Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons (other than those of heading 8702), including station wagons and racing cars) automotive manufacturing.
