HS v2022 Code: 2905

About acyclic alcohols and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives

HS code 2905 covers a diverse range of acyclic alcohols and their chemical derivatives. These compounds play a crucial role in various industries, serving as essential building blocks for the production of a wide array of products, from pharmaceuticals and personal care items to industrial solvents and fuels. The global demand for these versatile chemicals continues to grow, driven by their applications across numerous sectors, making this industry a vital component of the broader chemical and manufacturing landscape.

Production process

The production of acyclic alcohols and their derivatives under HS code 2905 typically involves a range of chemical synthesis techniques. The most common methods include hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones, hydrolysis of alkyl halides, and the reduction of carboxylic acids. These processes are often carried out in the presence of catalysts and under controlled temperature and pressure conditions to optimize yield and product quality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 2905 products include a variety of raw materials, such as 2901 Acyclic hydrocarbons, 2902 Cyclic hydrocarbons, and 2907 Phenols; phenol-alcohols. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery, including reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are essential for the efficient and precise manufacturing of these chemicals. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in chemical engineering, process optimization, and quality control.

Production outputs

The outputs of the HS code 2905 industry encompass a wide range of acyclic alcohols and their derivatives, including methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated, or nitrosated counterparts. These chemicals find applications in the production of 3307 Preparations for use on the body or hair, 3402 (Organic surface-active agents (other than soap); surface-active preparations, washing preparations (including auxiliary washing preparations) and cleaning preparations, whether or not containing soap, other than those of heading 3401), 3824 (Prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included), and 2909 (Ethers, ether-alcohols, ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols, alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, ketone peroxides (whether or not chemically defined), and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives), among other industries.
