Ion-exchangers; based on polymers of heading no. 3901 to 3913, in primary forms
HS v2017 Code: 3914
About ion-exchangers; based on polymers of heading no. 3901 to 3913, in primary forms
HS code 3914 covers ion-exchangers, which are materials used to remove unwanted ions from liquids or gases. These ion-exchangers are typically based on polymers from HS codes 3901 to 3913, and are produced in primary forms. They play a crucial role in water treatment, chemical processing, and various other industrial applications, making them an important part of the broader chemicals and materials industry.
Production process
The production of ion-exchangers under HS code 3914 involves the polymerization of monomers from HS codes 3901 to 3913. This process creates a porous, cross-linked polymer structure that can selectively capture and release specific ions. The polymers are then shaped into beads, membranes, or other forms suitable for the intended application.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the production of HS code 3914 ion-exchangers include the various monomers and polymers from HS codes 3901 to 3913, as well as specialized equipment for the polymerization and shaping processes. Catalysts, solvents, and other chemical additives may also be required, depending on the specific formulation and production methods used.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 3914 is ion-exchangers, which are used in a wide range of applications. These include 2820 Water treatment, 2829 Chemical processing, 2836 Pharmaceuticals, and 2841 Electronics, among others. The ion-exchangers produced under this code can be further processed or combined with other materials to create more specialized products.
