HS v2022 Code: 3506

About prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, n.e.c. or included; products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives, not exceeding 1kg net weight

HS code 3506 covers a diverse range of prepared glues and adhesives that are not classified elsewhere. These products play a crucial role in various industries, from manufacturing and construction to arts and crafts. As a versatile and essential component in many applications, the global market for prepared glues and adhesives continues to grow, driven by factors such as increasing demand for durable and efficient bonding solutions.

Production process

The production of prepared glues and adhesives under HS code 3506 typically involves the blending and formulation of various raw materials, including polymers, resins, solvents, and other additives. Manufacturers may use techniques such as emulsion polymerization, hot-melt extrusion, or solvent-based mixing to create adhesives with specific properties, such as high strength, flexibility, or fast curing times. The final products are then packaged and prepared for retail or industrial use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of prepared glues and adhesives under HS code 3506 include polymers (e.g., 3901 Polymers of ethylene, 3905 Polymers of vinyl acetate or of other vinyl esters, in primary forms, 3906 Acrylic polymers in primary forms), resins (e.g., 3806 Rosin and resin acids, and derivatives thereof; rosin spirit and rosin oils; run gums), solvents (e.g., 2905 Acyclic alcohols and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives), and various additives. Specialized production equipment, such as mixers, extruders, and packaging machinery, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the prepared glues and adhesives industry under HS code 3506 are a wide range of adhesive products, including glues, pastes, and other bonding solutions. These outputs are used in various applications, such as 4401 Fuel wood, in logs, in billets, in twigs, in faggots or in similar forms; wood in chips or particles; sawdust and wood waste and scrap, whether or not agglomerated in logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms, 4407 Wood sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed, of a thickness exceeding 6 mm, 4409 (Wood (including strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, V-jointed, beaded, moulded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges, ends or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or end-jointed), and 9403 Other furniture and parts thereof.
