About compounded rubber, unvulcanised, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS code 4005 covers compounded, unvulcanized rubber in primary forms or in plates, sheets, or strips. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader rubber and plastics sector, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of products. Compounded rubber is a versatile material used in the production of tires, automotive parts, consumer goods, and industrial applications, making it a significant contributor to the global economy.

Production process

The production of compounded, unvulcanized rubber under HS code 4005 typically involves a series of steps. First, natural or synthetic rubber is combined with various additives, such as fillers, accelerators, and vulcanizing agents, in a process known as compounding. The compounded mixture is then processed through techniques like milling, extruding, or calendering to create the desired primary forms or sheets, plates, and strips.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of compounded, unvulcanized rubber under HS code 4005 include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as a range of chemical additives like carbon black, silica, and various accelerators and vulcanizing agents. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as mixers, mills, and extruders, are essential for the compounding and shaping processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 4005 are compounded, unvulcanized rubber in various forms, including plates, sheets, and strips. These materials are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, such as the 4011 tire manufacturing, 4016 rubber product manufacturing, and 3926 plastic product manufacturing sectors, where they are further processed and incorporated into a diverse array of final products.
