HS v2022 Code: 390469

About halogenated olefin polymers; fluoro-polymers (other than polytetrafluoroethylene), in primary forms

HS code 390469 covers a diverse range of halogenated olefin polymers and fluoro-polymers, excluding polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). These specialized materials play a crucial role in various industries, from electronics and automotive to aerospace and chemical processing. Their unique properties, such as chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low friction, make them indispensable in applications where high-performance materials are required.

Production process

The production of halogenated olefin polymers and fluoro-polymers typically involves a multi-step process. First, the monomers, such as ethylene, propylene, or fluorinated olefins, are polymerized using various techniques, including free-radical, ionic, or coordination polymerization. The resulting polymers are then subjected to halogenation or fluorination reactions to introduce the desired functional groups. Finally, the modified polymers are processed into primary forms, such as pellets, granules, or powders, for further downstream applications.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 390469 materials include olefin monomers (e.g., 290121 ethylene, 290211 propylene), halogenating agents (e.g., chlorine, fluorine), and specialized catalysts. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as polymerization reactors, extruders, and compounding machines, to ensure consistent product quality and efficient production processes.

Production outputs

The halogenated olefin polymers and fluoro-polymers covered under HS code 390469 find applications in a wide range of industries.
