HS v2022 Code: 380992

About finishing agents and dye carriers; to accelerate dyeing or fixing of dye-stuffs, other products and preparations, used in the paper industry (excluding those with a basis of amylaceous substances)

HS code 380992 covers a range of chemical products used in the paper industry to enhance the dyeing and finishing processes. These finishing agents and dye carriers play a crucial role in improving the quality, appearance, and durability of paper products. As an integral part of the paper manufacturing supply chain, this industry supports a wide range of downstream applications, from commercial printing to packaging and specialty papers.

Production process

The production of finishing agents and dye carriers involves the synthesis and formulation of various chemical compounds. Key steps include the selection and blending of raw materials, such as organic dyes, surfactants, and other additives, followed by careful processing and quality control measures to ensure the desired performance characteristics. Manufacturers may employ a range of techniques, including batch processing, continuous flow reactions, and specialized mixing and dispersing equipment, to achieve the desired product specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 380992 industry include a variety of organic and inorganic chemicals, such as 290531 methanol, 290511 methyl alcohol, and 290419 other acyclic alcohols. Additionally, manufacturers may require specialized equipment, such as reactors, mixers, and filtration systems, as well as energy sources and water for the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 380992 industry are finishing agents and dye carriers used in the paper industry. These products are then consumed by paper manufacturers, printers, and other downstream industries that require the use of specialized chemicals to enhance the dyeing, printing, and finishing of paper products. Some related HS codes that may consume the outputs of this industry include 480200 (Uncoated paper and paperboard, of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes, and non-perforated punch-cards and punch-tape paper, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size) and 481013 (Kraft paper and paperboard, coated, impregnated or covered with plastics (excluding adhesives)).
