HS v2022 Code: 400259

About rubber; synthetic, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (nbr), (other than latex), in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS code 400259 covers synthetic acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), a versatile and widely used type of rubber. NBR is known for its excellent resistance to oil, chemicals, and abrasion, making it a crucial material in a variety of industries. This code encompasses NBR in primary forms, as well as in plates, sheets, or strips, highlighting its diverse applications and the importance of this synthetic rubber within the broader economy.

Production process

The production of NBR involves the copolymerization of acrylonitrile and butadiene monomers. This process is typically carried out in an emulsion or solution, with the resulting polymer then coagulated, dried, and processed into the desired forms. Manufacturers may also employ techniques such as compounding, vulcanization, and extrusion to further refine the NBR and tailor its properties to specific end-use requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of NBR under HS code 400259 include acrylonitrile and butadiene monomers, as well as various additives and processing aids. Specialized machinery, such as polymerization reactors, coagulation tanks, and extruders, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are required to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 400259 is synthetic acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) in various forms, including primary forms, plates, sheets, and strips. This material is widely used in the production of 400270 (Rubber; synthetic, ethylene-propylene-non-conjugated diene rubber (EPDM), in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip), 400280 Rubber; synthetic, mixtures of synthetic rubber, unvulcanized, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip, and 400299 Rubber; synthetic, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip, n.e.c. in heading 4002, among other rubber-based products and components.
