About rubber; synthetic, chloroprene (chlorobutadiene) rubber (cr), (other than latex), in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS code 400249 covers synthetic chloroprene (chlorobutadiene) rubber, commonly known as CR rubber. This type of rubber is highly versatile and finds widespread use in a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, and consumer goods. As a key component in the production of various rubber-based products, the 400249 industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader economy.

Production process

The production of synthetic chloroprene rubber (CR) typically involves the polymerization of chloroprene monomers. This process is carried out in the presence of various catalysts and additives to achieve the desired properties of the final product. The resulting polymer is then processed into primary forms, such as sheets, plates, or strips, which can be further transformed into a wide range of rubber-based products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 400249 industry include chloroprene monomers, catalysts, and various additives. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the polymerization and processing of the raw materials. The availability and quality of these inputs are critical to the production of high-quality synthetic chloroprene rubber.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 400249 industry is synthetic chloroprene rubber (CR) in various forms, such as sheets, plates, and strips. This material is then consumed by a range of downstream industries, including 401120 (Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on motor cars (including station wagons and racing cars)) and 401490 Rubber; vulcanized, other than hard rubber, articles n.e.c. in heading no. 4014, where it is used in the manufacture of tires, hoses, seals, and other rubber-based products.

Revisions to 400249
