Related Products under HTS 2901.22.00.00

Polymer-Grade Propylene

High-purity propene (propylene) used as a primary feedstock in the production of polypropylene plastics for packaging, automotive parts, and consumer goods. It falls under HTS 2901.22.00.00 as a separate chemically defined acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon. This classification applies to bulk industrial-grade propylene meeting polymerization specifications.

Refinery-Grade Propylene

Propene extracted from refinery streams, typically 90-95% purity, used for chemical synthesis including propylene oxide and cumene production. Classified under HTS 2901.22.00.00 as chemically defined propene, distinct from crude mixtures. Meets chapter note (a) for separate organic compounds.

Chemical-Grade Propylene

99%+ pure propene tailored for oxo-alcohol synthesis and acrylic acid production via propionaldehyde processes. It is a separate chemically defined acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon under HTS 2901.22.00.00. Purity distinguishes it from refinery streams.

Propylene Monomer for Polypropylene

Ultra-high purity propene (propylene monomer) specifically for homopolymer and copolymer polypropylene production in gas-phase processes. Falls under HTS 2901.22.00.00 as pure acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon per chapter note (a). Used in fibers, films, and injection molding.

Stabilized Propylene Gas

Propene with added polymerization inhibitor (per chapter note f) for safe transport and storage in petrochemical supply chains. Remains classified as HTS 2901.22.00.00 since stabilizer is solely for preservation. Used in downstream alkylation and metathesis.

Propylene for Cumene Production

High-specification propene used in alkylation with benzene to produce cumene, a phenol/acetone precursor. Pure acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon under HTS 2901.22.00.00, meeting chapter purity requirements. Supplied to phenol plants worldwide.
