About rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, not reinforced or otherwise combined with other materials, with fittings

HS code 400912 covers a crucial segment of the rubber industry, encompassing vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses that are not reinforced or combined with other materials. These products find widespread application across various industries, from automotive and construction to healthcare and consumer goods. As a vital component in the supply chain, the 400912 industry plays a significant role in the broader global economy.

Production process

The production of 400912 rubber tubing, piping, and hoses typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw rubber materials are compounded with various additives, such as fillers, accelerators, and vulcanizing agents, to achieve the desired properties. The compound is then extruded or molded into the desired shape and size, followed by a vulcanization process that crosslinks the rubber molecules, enhancing its strength, flexibility, and durability. Finally, the vulcanized products may undergo additional finishing steps, such as cutting, trimming, or the addition of fittings, to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The 400912 industry relies on a range of raw materials, including natural and synthetic rubber, as well as various chemical additives. Machinery and equipment used in the production process, such as extruders, molding machines, and vulcanization presses, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry may require specialized tools and equipment for the assembly and finishing of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 400912 industry are vulcanized rubber tubing, piping, and hoses, which are used in a wide variety of applications. These products may be consumed by industries such as 401700 Rubber; articles thereof, n.e.s. in heading no. 4001, 4002, 4003, 4004 or 4005, 870000 Vehicles; other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof, and 842199 Machinery parts; for filtering or purifying liquids or gases, n.e.s. in heading no. 8421.
