Metal; catalysts in the form of wire cloth or grill, of platinum

HS code 711510 covers metal catalysts in the form of wire cloth or grill, made of platinum. These specialized catalysts play a crucial role in various industrial processes, particularly in the chemical and petrochemical industries. As a precious metal, platinum is highly valued for its unique catalytic properties, making it an essential component in the production of a wide range of products that are vital to the global economy.

The production of platinum wire cloth or grill catalysts typically involves a multi-step process. First, the platinum is extracted and refined to a high degree of purity. The purified platinum is then formed into the desired wire or grill shape, often using specialized weaving or fabrication techniques. The final products are then subjected to rigorous quality control measures to ensure they meet the stringent requirements of their intended industrial applications.

The primary input for the production of HS code 711510 catalysts is, of course, platinum. Platinum is a rare and valuable precious metal, and its supply is carefully managed to meet the global demand. In addition to the platinum, the manufacturing process also requires specialized equipment and machinery, as well as skilled labor to operate the production facilities.

The catalysts produced under HS code 711510 are primarily used in various industrial processes, such as chemical synthesis, petroleum refining, and emissions control. These platinum-based catalysts are known for their high efficiency and long lifespan, making them essential components in the production of a wide range of chemicals, fuels, and other products. Other HS codes that may consume the output of 711510 catalysts include 271011 Motor spirit, including aviation spirit, 271019 Other oils, and 284410 Natural uranium and its compounds, among others.
