About rubber; synthetic, styrene-butadiene rubber (sbr) and carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (xsbr), (other than latex), in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS code 400219 covers the production and trade of synthetic styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (XSBR), which are essential materials in the manufacturing of a wide range of products. These rubber compounds are widely used in the automotive, construction, and consumer goods industries, making them a crucial component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of SBR and XSBR involves the copolymerization of styrene and butadiene monomers. This process is typically carried out in a controlled environment, using specialized catalysts and reaction conditions to achieve the desired properties of the final rubber compound. The resulting rubber is then processed into various primary forms, such as sheets, plates, or strips, to be used in downstream manufacturing processes.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of SBR and XSBR include styrene and butadiene monomers, as well as various additives and catalysts. Specialized machinery, such as polymerization reactors and compounding equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a robust supply chain of raw materials, energy sources, and transportation infrastructure to support its operations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 400219 are synthetic SBR and XSBR rubber compounds, which are then used as inputs for the production of a wide range of products. These include 401110 (Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on motor cars (including station wagons and racing cars)), 401120 Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on buses or lorries, 401490 Rubber; other articles of vulcanized rubber, n.e.c. in heading no. 4014, and 401699 Rubber; other articles of vulcanized rubber, n.e.c. in chapter 40.
