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

HS code 392094 covers a diverse range of plastic products made from phenolic resins. These materials are widely used across various industries, including construction, automotive, and electronics, due to their unique properties such as heat resistance, dimensional stability, and chemical inertness. The global phenolic resin market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from end-use sectors and the need for advanced materials that can withstand harsh environments.

Production process

The production of the products covered by HS code 392094 typically involves a multi-step process. First, phenolic resins are synthesized through the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde. These resins are then molded, extruded, or cast into the desired shapes, such as plates, sheets, film, foil, or strips. Depending on the specific application, the materials may undergo additional processing, such as lamination or surface treatment, to enhance their properties and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the products under HS code 392094 include phenol, formaldehyde, and other chemical additives used in the synthesis of phenolic resins. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as extruders, molding machines, and lamination presses, are essential for the manufacturing process. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce to operate the equipment and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The products covered by HS code 392094 are primarily used as intermediate materials in various downstream industries. These phenolic resin-based plates, sheets, film, foil, and strips are often further processed or incorporated into final products, such as 392010 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of styrene, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, 392020 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, and 392062 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polyethylene terephthalate, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials.
