About plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of regenerated cellulose, cellular

HS code 392114 covers a range of plastic products made from regenerated cellulose, a material derived from natural cellulose. These cellular plastic items are widely used across various industries, from packaging and construction to healthcare and electronics. As a versatile and renewable resource, regenerated cellulose plastics play a crucial role in the global economy, providing cost-effective and sustainable solutions to meet the growing demand for durable, lightweight, and customizable materials.

Production process

The production of regenerated cellulose plastics typically involves a multi-step process. First, natural cellulose is extracted from sources such as wood pulp or cotton linters. The cellulose is then chemically treated and dissolved to create a viscous solution, known as viscose. This viscose is then extruded through spinnerets, forming continuous filaments or sheets. These are then solidified, often through a coagulation process, to create the final regenerated cellulose plastic products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of regenerated cellulose plastics include natural cellulose sources, such as wood pulp or cotton linters, as well as various chemical reagents and solvents used in the dissolution and coagulation processes. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders and coagulation baths, are essential for the manufacturing of these plastic items.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 392114 are a diverse range of regenerated cellulose plastic products, including plates, sheets, film, foil, and strips. These materials find applications in 392112 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, 392113 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, cellular, and 392190 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, n.e.c. in heading 3921, among other related codes.
