About self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, whether or not in rolls

HS code 3919 covers a diverse range of self-adhesive plastic products, including plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, and other flat shapes. These materials have a wide array of applications across various industries, making them an essential component of the global economy. From packaging and labeling to construction and automotive applications, the products under this code play a crucial role in modern manufacturing and consumer goods.

Production process

The production of self-adhesive plastic products typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw plastic materials, such as 3901 Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms or 3902 Polymers of propylene or of other olefins, in primary forms, are extruded or calendered into thin sheets or films. These sheets are then coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which can be either solvent-based or water-based. Finally, the adhesive-coated sheets are cut or slit into the desired shapes and sizes, often with a release liner to protect the adhesive until application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of self-adhesive plastic products under HS code 3919 include plastic resins, adhesives, and specialized machinery. Plastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride, serve as the base material. Adhesives, both solvent-based and water-based, are a critical component that enables the self-adhesive properties. Additionally, the industry relies on extrusion, calendering, and cutting equipment to manufacture the final products.

Production outputs

The self-adhesive plastic products covered under HS code 3919 have a wide range of applications and are consumed by various other industries. These products are commonly used in packaging, labeling, and signage, as well as in construction, automotive, and electronics applications. The outputs of this industry may be further processed or incorporated into finished goods classified under other HS codes, such as 4811 Paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, coated, impregnated, covered, surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or sheets, 8708 Parts and accessories of motor vehicles, and 9405 Lamps and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like, having a permanently fixed light source, and parts thereof not elsewhere specified or included.
