Blown Linseed Oil
Blown linseed oil is linseed oil that has been air-oxidized under pressure to increase its viscosity and tackiness. It is used in putties, sealants, and printing inks. This product falls under tariff item 1518.00.00 as a vegetable oil that has been chemically modified by oxidation, which is explicitly covered by the heading.
1518.00.00Boiled Linseed Oil
Boiled linseed oil is produced by heating and oxidizing linseed oil to accelerate its drying properties, making it suitable for wood finishes and protective coatings. It is a chemically modified vegetable oil, as the heating and oxidation alter its chemical structure. This places it under tariff item 1518.00.00, which covers oils that are oxidized or otherwise chemically modified.
1518.00.00Boiled Tung Oil
Boiled tung oil is polymerized by heating with metallic driers, used in traditional wood finishing. The heating process chemically modifies the oil through polymerization. It falls under tariff item 1518.00.00 as a heat-polymerized vegetable oil.
1518.00.00Dehydrated Linseed Oil
Dehydrated linseed oil has water and impurities removed to create a faster-drying oil for paints and enamels. The dehydration process chemically modifies the oil, making it a dehydrated vegetable oil. It is classified under tariff item 1518.00.00 as a chemically modified oil, specifically dehydrated.
1518.00.00Dehydrated Tallow Fatty Acids
Dehydrated tallow fatty acids are produced by removing water and distilling animal tallow, used in soap noodles and rubber processing. The dehydration process chemically modifies the animal fat. It is classified under tariff item 1518.00.00 as a chemically modified animal fat fraction.
1518.00.00Epoxidized Soybean Oil
Epoxidized soybean oil is produced by chemically modifying soybean oil through epoxidation, converting double bonds into epoxide groups for enhanced stability. This chemical modification places it under tariff item 1518.00.00 as a chemically modified vegetable oil.
1518.00.00Heat-Polymerized Coconut Oil
Heat-polymerized coconut oil is vacuum-heated to dimerize fatty acids, creating viscous products for cosmetics and polishes. The polymerization process chemically modifies the oil. It falls under tariff item 1518.00.00 as a polymerized vegetable oil.
1518.00.00Heat-Polymerized Linseed Oil for Alkyds
Heat-polymerized linseed oil is produced by heating linseed oil in an inert gas or vacuum to increase its viscosity, making it suitable for short-oil alkyd resin production. This process chemically modifies the oil through polymerization. It falls under tariff item 1518.00.00 as a polymerized vegetable oil.
1518.00.00Industrial Linseed Oil Putty Base
This industrial linseed oil putty base is a thickened, blown or oxidized linseed oil used as a base for manufacturing glazing putties and caulks. It is a chemically modified vegetable oil, specifically oxidized, and is not yet formulated into a putty product. It is classified under tariff item 1518.00.00 as a modified linseed oil.
1518.00.00Microbial Oil Fatty Acid Esters
