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

HS code 400219 covers the production and trade of synthetic styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (XSBR), which are essential materials in the manufacturing of a wide range of products. These synthetic rubbers are widely used in the automotive, construction, and consumer goods industries, making them a crucial component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of SBR and XSBR involves the copolymerization of styrene and butadiene monomers. This process is typically carried out in a controlled environment, with the use of catalysts and other additives to achieve the desired properties. The resulting rubber is then processed into various primary forms, such as sheets, plates, or strips, to be used in downstream applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of SBR and XSBR include styrene and butadiene monomers, as well as various catalysts, antioxidants, and other chemical additives. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as polymerization reactors, extruders, and calendering machines, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 400219 are synthetic SBR and XSBR, which are then consumed by various industries. These synthetic rubbers are commonly used in the production of 400110 Natural rubber, balata, gutta-percha, guayule, chicle and similar natural gums, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip, 401110 New pneumatic tyres, of rubber, 401120 Retreaded or used pneumatic tyres of rubber; solid or cushion tyres, tyre treads and tyre flaps, of rubber, and 401490 Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber, among other products.
