Acids; saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids; n-butyl acetate

HS v2022 Code: 291533

About acids; saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids; n-butyl acetate

HS code 291533 covers a range of saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids, including n-butyl acetate. These chemicals are essential building blocks for a variety of industries, from pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals to plastics and coatings. As a key component in the production of various consumer and industrial goods, this code plays a vital role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of the chemicals under HS code 291533 typically involves a multi-step process. The starting point is the oxidation of primary alcohols, such as n-butanol, to form the corresponding carboxylic acids. These acids are then further processed, often through esterification reactions, to yield the desired products like n-butyl acetate.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the chemicals under this code include primary alcohols, such as n-butanol, as well as various catalysts and reagents used in the oxidation and esterification processes. Additionally, specialized equipment like reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems are necessary to ensure the quality and purity of the final products.

Production outputs

The chemicals produced under HS code 291533 are widely used as solvents, plasticizers, and intermediates in the manufacture of a diverse range of products. For example, n-butyl acetate is commonly used in paints, coatings, and adhesives. The outputs from this industry may be further processed or consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 3208 Paints and varnishes, 3506 Prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, and 3907 Polyacetals, other polyethers and epoxide resins, in primary forms.
