Mixed Xylenes (Industrial Grade)
Mixed xylenes are a mixture of ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene isomers obtained from high temperature coal tar distillation, containing more than 50% by weight xylenes as per subheading 2707.30 notes. This product is primarily used as a solvent in paints, coatings, and adhesives. It falls under HTS 2707.30.00 due to its aromatic dominance and xylene purity exceeding the threshold.
Para-Xylene Rich Coal Tar Fraction
A coal tar distillate fraction enriched in para-xylene (>50% by weight), used in the production of purified terephthalic acid for polyester fibers. Classified under HTS 2707.30.00 because it meets the xylene content threshold from high temperature coal tar. The aromatic constituents exceed nonaromatic ones.
Ortho-Xylene Coal Tar Extract
Ortho-xylene dominant extract from coal tar distillation, containing over 50% ortho-xylene by weight, used in phthalic anhydride manufacturing. This product qualifies for HTS 2707.30.00 under the subheading note for xylenes from high temperature coal tar. Aromatic components predominate over nonaromatics.
Meta-Xylene Heavy Fraction
Heavy distillate fraction from coal tar rich in meta-xylene (>50% by weight), employed as a solvent in inks and resins. Falls under HTS 2707.30.00 due to xylene purity meeting subheading criteria and aromatic > nonaromatic content. Derived specifically from high temperature coal tar.
Commercial Xylene Solvent (Coal Tar)
Commercial-grade xylene solvent blend from coal tar distillation, >50% total xylenes, used in thinning paints and varnishes. Classified in HTS 2707.30.00 as it meets the weight percentage note for xylenes and has aromatic constituents exceeding nonaromatics. Not a petroleum product.
Xylene Mother Liquor from Coal Tar
Mother liquor residue from coal tar xylene purification, containing >50% residual xylenes, recycled in chemical synthesis. HTS 2707.30.00 applies due to xylene content threshold and coal tar origin with aromatics predominant. Used in phthalates production.
