Products classified under HTS 2902.41.00.00
o-Xylene (Ortho-Xylene)
o-Xylene is a colorless, flammable liquid aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H4(CH3)2, classified under HTS 2902.41.00.00 as a cyclic hydrocarbon specifically within the xylenes subheading. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound used primarily as an industrial solvent and chemical intermediate.
Industrial Grade o-Xylene 99.5% Purity
High-purity o-xylene (99.5%) suitable for phthalic anhydride production via catalytic oxidation, classified under HTS 2902.41.00.00 as it meets the definition of a separate chemically defined cyclic hydrocarbon. This grade excludes mixtures or impure petroleum fractions.
Phthalic Anhydride Feedstock o-Xylene
o-Xylene specifically refined for oxidation to phthalic anhydride in plasticizer manufacturing, falling under HTS 2902.41.00.00 as a pure cyclic hydrocarbon per Chapter 29 note (a). Purity specifications ensure classification separate from crude petroleum products.
o-Xylene Solvent for Paint Manufacturing
Technical grade o-xylene used as a solvent in alkyd resin paints and coatings, classified under HTS 2902.41.00.00 because it remains a separate chemically defined compound despite solvent applications. Excludes formulated paint products or mixtures.
Electronic Grade o-Xylene for Photoresist
Ultra-high purity o-xylene (99.99%) for semiconductor photoresist manufacturing, under HTS 2902.41.00.00 as a chemically defined cyclic hydrocarbon meeting Chapter 29 purity standards. Distinguished from general solvents by stringent impurity controls.
o-Xylene Rubber Processing Solvent
o-Xylene used in synthetic rubber processing as a swelling agent and solvent, classified HTS 2902.41.00.00 as pure cyclic hydrocarbon. Used in tire manufacturing and elastomer production.
o-Xylene for Pesticide Intermediate
Refined o-xylene serving as precursor for o-xylenol in pesticide synthesis, under HTS 2902.41.00.00 as defined organic compound. Purity ensures classification before chemical transformation.
