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

HS code 392063 covers a wide range of plastic products made from unsaturated polyesters. These materials are widely used across various industries, including construction, packaging, and automotive, due to their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. The global market for unsaturated polyester resins is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from end-use sectors and advancements in manufacturing technologies.

Production process

The production of the plastic products covered under HS code 392063 typically involves a multi-step process. First, unsaturated polyester resins are synthesized through the polycondensation of dicarboxylic acids and dihydric alcohols. These resins are then extruded or calendered into thin sheets, films, or strips. Depending on the specific application, the plastic materials may undergo additional processing, such as lamination, coating, or embossing, to enhance their properties or appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the products under HS code 392063 include unsaturated polyester resins, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, various additives, such as fillers, plasticizers, and stabilizers, may be incorporated to improve the physical, mechanical, or aesthetic properties of the final products. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and lamination equipment, is also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The plastic products covered under HS code 392063 are used in a wide range of applications, including 392010 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of vinyl chloride, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, 392020 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of styrene, 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 vinyl chloride, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials. These materials are widely used in the construction, packaging, and automotive industries, among others.
