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

HS code 392091 covers a range of plastic products made from poly(vinyl butyral), a versatile material with a variety of industrial and commercial applications. These products, which include plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip, are widely used in the manufacturing of safety glass, interlayer materials, and other specialized products. The poly(vinyl butyral) industry plays a crucial role in the broader plastics and packaging sectors, contributing to the development of innovative and durable materials that support a wide range of industries.

Production process

The production of poly(vinyl butyral) products under HS code 392091 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including poly(vinyl butyral) resin and any necessary additives, are carefully blended and melted. The molten material is then extruded or calendered into the desired shape and thickness, such as sheets or films. Depending on the specific application, the material may undergo further processing, such as lamination or coating, to enhance its properties and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 392091 products are poly(vinyl butyral) resin, which serves as the primary raw material, as well as various additives and processing aids. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and lamination equipment, is also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 392091 industry are poly(vinyl butyral) plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip. These products are widely used in the production of 700711 safety glass, where they serve as the interlayer material, providing impact resistance and holding the glass together in the event of breakage. Additionally, these materials may be consumed by 392010 plastic film and sheet, 392020 plastic plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, and other related industries that require durable, transparent, and versatile plastic products.
