HS v2022 Code: 293213

About heterocyclic compounds; with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only, containing an unfused furan ring (whether or not hydrogenated) in the structure, furfuryl alcohol and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol

HS code 293213 covers a range of heterocyclic compounds that contain an unfused furan ring structure, including furfuryl alcohol and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol. These compounds are widely used in the production of various chemicals, solvents, and other industrial products, making them an important part of the broader chemical industry. Their versatility and diverse applications contribute to their significance within the global economy.

Production process

The production of the compounds covered under HS code 293213 typically involves the catalytic hydrogenation or oxidation of furan-based precursors. Furfuryl alcohol, for instance, is commonly produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of furfural, which is derived from agricultural waste materials. Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, on the other hand, is often synthesized through the catalytic hydrogenation of furfuryl alcohol. These processes are designed to optimize yield, purity, and efficiency in order to meet the demands of various end-use industries.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the compounds covered under HS code 293213 include furan-based raw materials, such as furfural and furfuryl alcohol, as well as various catalysts and solvents. Additionally, specialized production equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are necessary to ensure the high-quality and consistent production of these heterocyclic compounds.

Production outputs

The compounds classified under HS code 293213 are used as intermediates in the production of a wide range of chemicals, solvents, and other industrial products. For example, furfuryl alcohol and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol are used in the manufacture of resins, coatings, and adhesives, as well as in the production of 293299 (Other heterocyclic compounds with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only) and 290519 Other acyclic alcohols. The versatility of these compounds ensures their continued demand across various industries.
