Poly(vinyl acetate); in aqueous dispersion, in primary forms

HS v2017 Code: 390512

About poly(vinyl acetate); in aqueous dispersion, in primary forms

HS code 390512 covers the classification of poly(vinyl acetate) in aqueous dispersion, a widely used polymer material with a diverse range of applications. This synthetic resin is a key component in various industries, including adhesives, paints, coatings, and textiles, making it an essential part of the global manufacturing landscape. Its versatility and adaptability have contributed to its growing importance within the broader chemical and materials sector.

Production process

Poly(vinyl acetate) in aqueous dispersion is typically produced through the polymerization of vinyl acetate monomers in an aqueous medium. This process involves the use of emulsifiers and initiators to facilitate the formation of a stable polymer dispersion. The resulting material is then further processed and refined to meet the specific requirements of its intended applications.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of poly(vinyl acetate) in aqueous dispersion include vinyl acetate monomers, water, emulsifiers, and initiators. Additionally, the manufacturing process may require specialized equipment, such as reactors, mixing tanks, and drying systems, to ensure the efficient and consistent production of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 390512 is poly(vinyl acetate) in aqueous dispersion, which is then used as a raw material or intermediate in the production of a wide range of products. These include 350510 Dextrins and other modified starches, 350691 Adhesives based on polymers of headings 3901 to 3913 or on rubber, 320910 (Paints and varnishes (including enamels and lacquers) based on synthetic polymers or chemically modified natural polymers, dispersed or dissolved in an aqueous medium), and 590310 Textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, other than those of heading 5902, among others.
