HS v2022 Code: 290612

About alcohols; cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic and derivatives, cyclohexanol, methylcyclohexanols and dimethylcyclohexanols

HS code 290612 covers a range of cyclic alcohols, including cyclohexanol, methylcyclohexanols, and dimethylcyclohexanols. These compounds are important intermediates in the production of various chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products. The global cyclic alcohol market is driven by the growing demand from industries such as 325 Chemicals, 324 Pharmaceuticals, and 326 Plastics and Rubber, making this HS code a crucial component of the broader chemical and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of the alcohols covered under HS code 290612 typically involves the catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding cyclic ketones. This process is carried out under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, often using transition metal catalysts to facilitate the reduction reaction. The specific production techniques may vary depending on the target alcohol and the desired purity levels.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cyclic alcohols under HS code 290612 include the corresponding cyclic ketone raw materials, such as cyclohexanone, methylcyclohexanones, and dimethylcyclohexanones. Additionally, the process requires access to hydrogen gas, catalysts, and various utilities like energy, water, and process control equipment.

Production outputs

The cyclic alcohols produced under HS code 290612 are widely used as intermediates in the manufacture of a variety of 325 Chemicals, 324 Pharmaceuticals, and 326 Plastics and Rubber products. These alcohols may be further processed or used as direct inputs for the production of other 290000 Organic Chemicals under different HS codes, such as 290511 Saturated monohydric alcohols, 290512 Unsaturated monohydric alcohols, and 290519 Other saturated monohydric alcohols.
