Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip, other flat shapes thereof, self-adhesive, in rolls of a width not exceeding 20cm

HS code 391910 covers a wide range of self-adhesive plastic products, including plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, and strips. These materials are essential components in various industries, from packaging and labeling to construction and automotive applications. The global demand for these versatile plastic products has been steadily increasing, driven by factors such as the growing need for efficient and cost-effective solutions, as well as the rising focus on sustainability and recyclability.

The production of the products covered under HS code 391910 typically involves a combination of extrusion, lamination, and coating processes. Extrusion is used to create the base plastic sheets or films, which are then coated with adhesive materials and laminated to create the final self-adhesive products. The specific techniques and equipment used may vary depending on the desired thickness, surface properties, and adhesive characteristics of the final product.

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 391910 products include various types of plastic resins, such as 390110 Polyethylene; linear low density and 390120 Polyethylene; high density, as well as adhesive materials like acrylic or rubber-based compounds. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, coaters, and laminators, are essential for the manufacturing process.

The products covered under HS code 391910 are widely used in a variety of applications, including 392010 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of ethylene, 392020 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of propylene, and 392190 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of other plastics, n.e.c. in heading no. 3921. These self-adhesive plastic materials are commonly used for labeling, packaging, signage, and various industrial and construction purposes.
