Amino-resins; urea and thiourea resins, in primary forms

HS v2017 Code: 390910

About amino-resins; urea and thiourea resins, in primary forms

HS code 390910 covers a group of synthetic resins known as amino-resins, which include urea and thiourea resins. These resins are widely used in a variety of industries, from construction and furniture to automotive and electronics. They are valued for their excellent thermal and chemical resistance, as well as their ability to be molded into complex shapes. The amino-resin industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential materials for a wide range of products that are integral to modern life.

Production process

The production of amino-resins, such as urea and thiourea resins, typically involves a polycondensation reaction. This process combines organic compounds, such as urea or thiourea, with formaldehyde under controlled temperature and pressure conditions. The resulting resin is then further processed, often through additional reactions or the addition of other materials, to achieve the desired properties and characteristics for specific applications.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the amino-resin industry include urea, thiourea, and formaldehyde, which serve as the key raw materials. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the polycondensation and subsequent processing of the resins. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the amino-resin industry are the various types of resins, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. These resins can be found in products such as 392010 Plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, 392020 Self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, and 392690 Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 39.01 to 39.14. The versatility of amino-resins makes them an essential component in the manufacturing of a diverse array of consumer and industrial goods.
