About plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of poly(ethylene terephthalate), non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials

HS code 392062 covers a wide range of plastic products made from poly(ethylene terephthalate), commonly known as PET. These materials are highly versatile and find extensive use in packaging, textiles, and various industrial applications. The global PET market is a crucial component of the broader plastics industry, which plays a vital role in supporting international trade and economic development.

Production process

The production of PET materials under HS code 392062 typically involves a multi-step process. First, ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid are polymerized to create PET resin. This resin is then extruded and formed into sheets, films, or other desired shapes and thicknesses. Depending on the specific application, the PET materials may undergo additional processing, such as lamination, coating, or surface treatment, to enhance their properties and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of PET materials under HS code 392062 include ethylene glycol, terephthalic acid, and various additives and processing aids. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and coating equipment, is also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 392062 are PET sheets, films, foils, and strips, which are used in a wide range of applications. These materials are often consumed by industries producing 392010 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of ethylene, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, 392020 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of propylene, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, and 392030 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of styrene, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, among others.
