About rubber; synthetic, chloroprene (chlorobutadiene) rubber (cr), latex, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS code 400241 covers the classification of synthetic chloroprene (chlorobutadiene) rubber, also known as CR rubber, in its primary forms or as plates, sheets, or strips. This type of synthetic rubber is highly versatile and finds extensive use in a wide range of industries, from automotive to construction and beyond. As a key component in the production of various rubber-based products, the 400241 industry plays a vital role in the broader global economy.

Production process

The production of synthetic chloroprene rubber (CR) typically involves the polymerization of chloroprene monomers. This process is often carried out in the presence of various catalysts and additives to achieve the desired properties and characteristics of the final product. The resulting CR rubber can then be further processed into different forms, such as sheets, plates, or strips, to meet the specific requirements of various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 400241 industry include chloroprene monomers, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the production process may involve the use of various catalysts, stabilizers, and other chemical additives to enhance the properties of the final product. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as polymerization reactors and extrusion or calendering systems, are also essential for the efficient manufacturing of synthetic chloroprene rubber.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 400241 industry is synthetic chloroprene rubber (CR) in its various forms, including plates, sheets, and strips. This material is widely used in the production of a diverse range of products, such as 400251 Rubber; plates, sheets and strip, of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber, 401120 Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on motor cars, and 401519 (Rubber; articles of apparel and clothing accessories (including gloves, mittens and mitts)), among others. The versatility of CR rubber makes it a crucial component in numerous industries, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.
