About catalysts, supported; reaction initiators, reaction accelerators and catalytic preparations, with nickel or nickel compounds as the active substance, n.e.c. or included

HS code 381511 covers a crucial category of industrial chemicals known as catalysts, reaction initiators, and accelerators. These specialized products play a vital role in a wide range of manufacturing processes, from petrochemicals to pharmaceuticals. They are essential for improving the efficiency, speed, and cost-effectiveness of chemical reactions, making them an integral part of the global industrial landscape.

Production process

The production of catalysts and related preparations under HS code 381511 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the active substance, in this case, nickel or nickel compounds, is supported on a suitable carrier material, such as silica, alumina, or zeolites. This support structure helps to maximize the surface area and accessibility of the active sites. The catalyst is then subjected to various treatments, such as calcination, reduction, or activation, to optimize its performance. Finally, the catalyst may be combined with other additives or compounds to create specialized formulations for specific applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 381511 products include the nickel or nickel compounds used as the active substance, the carrier materials, and various chemical reagents and solvents used in the production process. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as reactors, filtration systems, and drying units, are necessary to ensure the consistent quality and performance of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 381511 are catalysts, reaction initiators, and catalytic preparations that are used in a wide range of industries. These products may be consumed by manufacturers of 340110 Soap and organic surface-active products and preparations for use as soap, 340200 (Organic surface-active agents (except soap); surface-active preparations, washing preparations (including auxiliary washing preparations) and cleaning preparations, whether or not containing soap, n.e.c.), 382490 (Chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included), and other related sectors.
