HS v2017 Code: 400211

About rubber; synthetic, styrene-butadiene rubber (sbr) and carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (xsbr) latex, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS code 400211 covers the production and trade of synthetic styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (XSBR) latex. These synthetic rubbers are widely used in the manufacturing of tires, conveyor belts, hoses, and various other rubber products. As a key component in the automotive and industrial sectors, the 400211 industry plays a vital role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of SBR and XSBR latex involves the copolymerization of styrene and butadiene monomers. This process is typically carried out in an emulsion or solution polymerization system, where the monomers are combined with initiators, surfactants, and other additives to form the desired rubber polymer. The resulting latex is then coagulated, dried, and processed into various primary forms, such as bales, sheets, or granules, for further industrial applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 400211 industry include styrene and butadiene monomers, which are typically derived from the petrochemical industry. Additionally, the production process requires various catalysts, initiators, and other chemical additives. Specialized equipment, such as polymerization reactors, coagulation tanks, and drying systems, are also essential for the manufacturing of SBR and XSBR latex.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 400211 industry is synthetic SBR and XSBR latex, which is then consumed by various downstream industries. These synthetic rubbers are widely used in the production of 400121 Rubber; natural, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip for tires, 401110 (Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on motor cars (including station wagons and racing cars)) and 401120 Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on buses or lorries. Additionally, the 400211 industry supplies materials for the manufacturing of 401700 Rubber; articles thereof, n.e.c. in chapter 40.
