BIS
(2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-4-Peridyl Sebacate (UV 770) [HS Code: 2933 3090, 3812 3990 |
Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl)
sebacate, commonly known as UV 770 or Tinuvin 770,
is a low-molecular-weight Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer (HALS) used to protect
polymers, plastics, and coatings from UV-induced degradation. It functions
by scavenging radicals formed during the photo-oxidation process, which extends
the lifespan and maintains the properties of materials exposed to sunlight. Its
effectiveness is due to its molecular structure containing two piperidine rings,
which helps it to absorb UV light and prevent photodegradation |

[HS Code: 2917] |
Diisononyl phthalate (DINP)
is a high molecular weight plasticizer used to make plastics like PVC flexible,
durable, and weather-resistant. It's found in various products, including flooring,
automotive interiors, and cables, but is banned in toys and childcare articles
that children might put in their mouths due to potential anti-androgenic effects
on reproductive development. Regulatory agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) have evaluated DINP's risks, which are similar to those of other
phthalates |

Normal Butanol
or N-BUTYL ALCOHOL [HS Code: 2905] |
N-butyl alcohol (n-butanol)
is a primary alcohol with the chemical formula C₄H₁₀O, appearing as a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic odor. It is widely used as an industrial solvent
for paints, varnishes, and coatings and serves as a chemical intermediate to produce
esters like butyl acetate and amino resins. It is also used in plasticizers, detergents, and certain
medications |

Acrylonitrile
Butadiene Rubber (NBR) [HS Code4002 59] |
Acrylonitrile Butadiene
Rubber (NBR), or nitrile rubber, is a synthetic rubber copolymer of acrylonitrile
and butadiene, known for its excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and chemicals.
It has high abrasion and heat resistance but poor ozone and weathering resistance.
NBR is used in applications like automotive hoses, fuel tanks, and industrial
seals and gaskets. |

[HS Code 2907 21] |
Resorcinol (C₆H₆O₂) is a white, crystalline organic compound used in hair dyes,
pharmaceuticals for skin disorders, and as an adhesive and resin for rubber
and plastics. It is a meta-isomer of benzenediol and is soluble in water, alcohol,
and ether but turns pink upon exposure to light. It is known for its antiseptic,
disinfectant, and keratolytic properties, but can cause skin irritation and potential
thyroid issues at high concentrations. |

Copolymer Polyol
of hydroxyl value >=23” [HS Code 3907] |
A "copolymer polyol
of hydroxyl value >=23" refers to a type of polymer created by combining
two or more monomers that has a hydroxyl value (a measure of hydroxyl group
content) of 23 mg KOH/g or higher, typically indicating it can be used to produce
polyurethanes with specific properties like increased hardness or flexibility.
The hydroxyl value is crucial for quality control in polyol production and is
determined through chemical titration or spectroscopic methods to ensure consistency
and predictable performance in end-use applications such as coatings, adhesives,
and foams. |

1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane
or R-134a [HS Code 2903 45] |
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane
is a chemical compound known by its commercial designation R-134a. It is a hydrofluorocarbon
(HFC) used extensively as a refrigerant in air conditioning and
refrigeration systems, as well as an aerosol propellant. R-134a is a nonflammable, nontoxic fluid with thermodynamic
properties similar to R-12 but with a
significantly lower global warming potential (GWP of 1,430) and zero ozone
depletion potential |
