Products classified under HTS 2708.20.00.00
Coal Tar Pitch Coke
Pitch coke derived from coal tar distillation, characterized by high carbon content and low volatility, used primarily in aluminum smelting anodes. It falls under HTS 2708.20.00.00 as pitch coke obtained from coal tar, distinct from petroleum coke. This material provides structural integrity and electrical conductivity in carbon electrodes.
Calcined Coal Tar Pitch Coke
High-quality calcined pitch coke from coal tar, heated to reduce impurities for superior anode performance in electrolysis. Classified under HTS 2708.20.00.00 due to its origin from coal tar pitch. It offers enhanced density and purity for demanding industrial applications.
Green Anode Pitch Coke
Uncalcined pitch coke from coal tar specifically for green anode production in aluminum industry. HTS 2708.20.00.00 applies as it's pitch coke from coal tar, providing the base for baking into finished anodes. Known for consistent particle size and low ash content.
High-Quality Needle Pitch Coke
Premium needle coke variant from coal tar pitch, featuring needle-like structure for graphite electrode manufacturing. Falls under HTS 2708.20.00.00 as coal tar-derived pitch coke. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion makes it ideal for steel production electrodes.
Foundry Pitch Coke
Pitch coke from coal tar optimized for foundry cupola furnaces and metal casting operations. Classified in HTS 2708.20.00.00 for its coal tar pitch origin and coke form. Provides high heat output and slag-forming properties.
Electrode-Grade Coal Tar Pitch Coke
Specialized pitch coke from coal tar for manufacturing large graphite electrodes in electric arc furnaces. HTS 2708.20.00.00 covers this as pitch coke from coal tar. Features ultra-low sulfur and high graphitizability.
Briquetted Coal Tar Pitch Coke
Pitch coke from coal tar compressed into briquettes for easier handling in industrial furnaces. Remains under HTS 2708.20.00.00 as the briquetting doesn't change its fundamental pitch coke nature from coal tar.
Low-Sulfur Pitch Coke
Premium low-sulfur variant of coal tar pitch coke for environmentally sensitive aluminum production. HTS 2708.20.00.00 classification holds due to coal tar source and coke processing. Meets stringent emissions standards for modern smelters.
Anode Baking Pitch Coke
Coarse pitch coke from coal tar designed for the baking stage of anode manufacturing. Falls squarely under HTS 2708.20.00.00 as coal tar pitch coke. Delivers optimal porosity post-baking for electrolyte penetration.
Synthetic Graphite Precursor Pitch Coke
High-purity coal tar pitch coke serving as precursor for synthetic graphite production. Classified in HTS 2708.20.00.00 for its pitch coke characteristics from coal tar. Critical for high-performance battery and nuclear applications.
