About plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip (not self-adhesive), of cellulose acetate, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials

HS code 392073 covers a wide range of plastic products made from cellulose acetate, a versatile and durable material. These products are used across various industries, from packaging and consumer goods to automotive and electronics. As a key component in the global plastics supply chain, the 392073 industry plays a vital role in supporting economic growth and enabling the production of countless everyday items.

Production process

The production of 392073 items typically involves a multi-step process. First, cellulose acetate is synthesized through the chemical reaction of cellulose and acetic anhydride. The resulting material is then extruded or cast into thin sheets, films, or strips. Depending on the desired application, these base products may undergo additional processing, such as lamination, coating, or embossing, to impart specific properties or aesthetic features.

Production inputs

The primary raw material for the 392073 industry is cellulose, which is often derived from wood pulp or cotton linters. Other key inputs include acetic anhydride, plasticizers, and various additives that can enhance the material's performance or appearance. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and coating equipment, is also essential for the efficient production of 392073 items.

Production outputs

The 392073 industry produces a wide range of plastic products, including sheets, films, foils, and strips. These materials are used in a variety of applications, such as 392010 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, self-adhesive, 392071 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of regenerated cellulose, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, and 392072 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of vulcanized fiber, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials. The versatility of 392073 products makes them valuable inputs for industries ranging from packaging and consumer goods to automotive and electronics.
