Chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades
HS v2017 Code: 4702
About chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades
HS code 4702 covers the classification of chemical wood pulp, specifically the dissolving grades. This industry plays a vital role in the global supply chain, providing a crucial raw material for the production of a wide range of products, from textiles to pharmaceuticals. As a key component in the manufacturing of cellulose-based materials, the chemical wood pulp industry is closely tied to the broader economy, with its outputs being consumed by a diverse range of downstream industries.
Production process
The production of chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades, typically involves a multi-step process. The primary raw material, wood, is first mechanically or chemically broken down into individual cellulose fibers. These fibers are then subjected to various chemical treatments, such as bleaching and purification, to remove impurities and enhance the purity of the cellulose. The resulting pulp is then dried and processed into a form suitable for further industrial applications.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades, include wood as the primary raw material, as well as various chemicals and specialized equipment. Depending on the specific production process, additional inputs such as energy sources, water, and specialized machinery may also be necessary to ensure the efficient and high-quality production of the pulp.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 4702 is the chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades, which is then consumed by a variety of downstream industries. These include the 5501 Synthetic filament tow, 5504 Artificial staple fibers, and 3912 Cellulose and its chemical derivatives, not elsewhere specified or included industries, among others. The high-purity cellulose provided by the chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades, is a crucial component in the manufacturing of a wide range of products, from textiles to pharmaceuticals.
