Acids; saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids; ethyl acetate
HS v2022 Code: 291531
About acids; saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids; ethyl acetate
HS code 291531 covers a range of saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids, including ethyl acetate, which are essential chemicals used in various industries. These acids play a crucial role in the production of a wide array of products, from pharmaceuticals and personal care items to industrial solvents and coatings. Their importance in the global economy cannot be overstated, as they serve as key building blocks for a diverse range of downstream 29 Organic chemicals and 38 Miscellaneous chemical products.
Production process
The production of the chemicals covered under HS code 291531 typically involves a multi-step process. The starting point is often the fermentation of renewable feedstocks, such as agricultural waste or byproducts, to produce the desired acetic acid or other saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids. These acids are then further refined and purified through a series of distillation, extraction, and crystallization processes to meet the specific quality and purity requirements of various applications.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of the chemicals under HS code 291531 include renewable feedstocks, such as agricultural waste or byproducts, as well as various catalysts, solvents, and energy sources. Specialized equipment, such as fermentation tanks, distillation columns, and crystallization units, are also essential for the efficient and high-quality production of these chemicals.
Production outputs
The chemicals covered under HS code 291531 are widely used as intermediates and building blocks in the production of a diverse range of 29 Organic chemicals and 38 Miscellaneous chemical products. For example, ethyl acetate is a common solvent used in the manufacture of paints, coatings, adhesives, and pharmaceutical formulations. Other saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids may be further processed into various esters, salts, or other derivatives that find applications in the 30 Pharmaceutical products, 33 Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations, and 38 Miscellaneous chemical products industries.
