HS v2022 Code: 400220

About rubber; synthetic, butadiene rubber (br), in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS code 400220 covers the classification of synthetic butadiene rubber (BR), a type of synthetic rubber that is widely used in the production of various industrial and consumer goods. Butadiene rubber is a critical material in the manufacturing of tires, automotive parts, hoses, and a range of other rubber-based products. As a key component in many industries, the production and trade of synthetic butadiene rubber plays a significant role in the global economy.

Production process

Synthetic butadiene rubber is primarily produced through the polymerization of butadiene, a hydrocarbon gas. The process typically involves the use of catalysts and controlled temperature and pressure conditions to facilitate the conversion of butadiene monomers into long-chain polymer molecules. The resulting rubber material is then processed into various primary forms, such as blocks, sheets, or strips, to meet the specific requirements of different applications.

Production inputs

The production of synthetic butadiene rubber (BR) requires several key inputs, including the raw material butadiene, as well as various catalysts, initiators, and other chemical additives used in the polymerization process. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as reactors, extruders, and molding machines, are essential for the efficient and high-quality manufacturing of BR products.

Production outputs

Synthetic butadiene rubber (BR) produced under HS code 400220 is a versatile material that finds widespread use in a variety of industries. Its primary applications include the manufacturing of 401110 Pneumatic tyres, new, of rubber for the automotive industry, as well as the production of 400912 Tubes, pipes and hoses, of vulcanised rubber other than hard rubber, not reinforced or otherwise combined with other materials, without fittings and other rubber-based components for various industrial and consumer goods.
