About self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, whether or not in rolls

HS code 3919 covers a diverse range of self-adhesive plastic products, including plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, and other flat shapes. These materials are widely used across various industries, from packaging and labeling to construction and automotive applications. The global self-adhesive plastics market is a significant contributor to the broader plastics industry, which is a crucial component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of self-adhesive plastic products typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base plastic material, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), or polypropylene (PP), is extruded or calendered into thin sheets or films. These base materials are then coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which can be either solvent-based or water-based. The adhesive-coated material is then cut or slit into the desired shapes and sizes, often with the addition of a release liner to protect the adhesive surface.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of self-adhesive plastic products include the base plastic resins, adhesives, and release liners. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, coaters, and slitting equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 3919 are self-adhesive plastic products, which can be used in a wide range of applications. These products may be consumed by industries such as 4811 Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard, 8708 Parts and accessories of motor vehicles, and 4823 Other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, cut to size or shape; other articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers, among others.
