Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane; containing bromochlorodifluoromethane, bromotrifluoromethane or dibromotetrafluoroethanes

HS v2017 Code: 382472

About mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane; containing bromochlorodifluoromethane, bromotrifluoromethane or dibromotetrafluoroethanes

HS code 382472 covers a range of chemical mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane. These mixtures are primarily used as refrigerants, propellants, and in various industrial applications. They play a crucial role in the global economy, supporting industries such as 382400 Preparations and charges for fire-extinguishers; charged fire-extinguishing grenades, 382200 Composite diagnostic or laboratory reagents, other than those of heading 3002 or 3006, and 382490 (Chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included).

Production process

The production of the mixtures covered by HS code 382472 typically involves the controlled synthesis and blending of various halogenated organic compounds. Key steps include the halogenation of methane, ethane, or propane, followed by the careful mixing and formulation of the final product to meet specific performance and safety requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of these mixtures include the raw materials (methane, ethane, or propane), various halogenating agents (such as bromine or chlorine), and specialized equipment for the chemical synthesis and blending processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in chemical engineering, process control, and quality assurance.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane, which are then consumed by a range of downstream industries. These mixtures may be used as refrigerants in 382471 (Containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), whether or not containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)), as propellants in 382200 Composite diagnostic or laboratory reagents, other than those of heading 3002 or 3006, or in various other industrial applications covered by 382490 (Chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included).
