About plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polyurethanes, cellular

HS code 392113 covers the classification of cellular plastic products made from polyurethane. These materials are widely used across various industries due to their unique properties, such as lightweight, insulation, and shock absorption. The global polyurethane market is a significant component of the broader plastics industry, valued at over $60 billion annually and expected to grow steadily in the coming years as demand for these versatile materials continues to rise.

Production process

The production of cellular polyurethane products typically involves a process known as foaming. This involves mixing and reacting polyol and isocyanate components, which then expand and solidify to create a porous, lightweight material. Specialized machinery and molds are used to shape the foam into the desired plates, sheets, films, or strips. Additional finishing steps, such as cutting, laminating, or surface treatment, may be applied to meet specific product requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of HS code 392113 items include polyol and isocyanate raw materials, as well as various additives and catalysts to control the foaming process and product properties. Specialized equipment, such as mixing and dispensing units, molds, and cutting tools, are also essential for the manufacturing of these cellular polyurethane products.

Production outputs

The cellular polyurethane products classified under HS code 392113 are used in a wide range of applications, including 392112 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of polymers of vinyl chloride, non-cellular, 392119 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, n.e.c. in heading no. 3921, non-cellular, and 392190 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, n.e.c. in heading no. 3921, cellular. These materials are commonly found in insulation, packaging, automotive components, and various other industrial and consumer products.
