Acids; carboxylic acids, (with alcohol function but without other oxygen function), other than lactic, tartaric, citric, and gluconic acids and their salts and esters

HS v2022 Code: 291819

About acids; carboxylic acids, (with alcohol function but without other oxygen function), other than lactic, tartaric, citric, and gluconic acids and their salts and esters

HS code 291819 covers a diverse range of carboxylic acids with alcohol functions, excluding some well-known acids like lactic, tartaric, citric, and gluconic acids. These chemicals play a crucial role in various industries, from pharmaceuticals and personal care products to food processing and industrial applications. Their versatility and wide-ranging uses make them an integral part of the global chemical trade and supply chain.

Production process

The production of the chemicals under HS code 291819 typically involves chemical synthesis processes. This may include oxidation, esterification, or other reactions starting from appropriate alcohol or aldehyde precursors. The specific techniques can vary depending on the target compound, but generally involve careful control of reaction conditions, purification, and quality control measures to ensure the desired product characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the chemicals under HS code 291819 include various alcohols, aldehydes, and other organic compounds, as well as catalysts, solvents, and energy sources. Specialized production equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor and technical expertise are necessary to operate the production facilities effectively.

Production outputs

The chemicals classified under HS code 291819 are used as intermediates or building blocks in the production of a wide range of downstream products. They may be further processed or combined with other substances to create pharmaceuticals, personal care items, food additives, plasticizers, and various industrial chemicals. Some of the other HS codes that may consume the outputs of this industry include 291821 Salts and esters of carboxylic acids with alcohol function, 291822 Salts and esters of carboxylic acids with aldehyde or ketone function, and 291829 Carboxylic acids with additional oxygen function and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, among others.

Revisions to 291819
