Products classified under HTS 2902.60.00.00
Ethylbenzene (CAS 100-41-4)
Ethylbenzene is a colorless flammable liquid classified as a cyclic hydrocarbon with the formula C6H5CH2CH3, consisting of a benzene ring substituted with an ethyl group. It falls under HTS 2902.60.00.00 as a separate chemically defined organic compound per Chapter 29 note (a). Primarily used as an intermediate in styrene production for polystyrene plastics.
Industrial Grade Ethylbenzene 99.5%
High-purity ethylbenzene (99.5% min) used in petrochemical alkylation processes for styrene monomer synthesis. Meets Chapter 29 criteria as a separate chemically defined cyclic hydrocarbon under heading 2902.60. Classified here rather than Chapter 27 due to high purity and defined composition.
Ethylbenzene for Styrene Production
Refined ethylbenzene specifically produced via benzene alkylation for catalytic dehydrogenation to styrene. As a C8 aromatic with defined molecular structure, it qualifies under 2902.60.00.00 per Chapter 29 note (a) for separate chemically defined organic compounds.
Laboratory Reagent Ethylbenzene ACS Grade
ACS-certified ethylbenzene for analytical chemistry and organic synthesis research. High purity (99.8%+) meets Chapter 29 requirements for chemically defined compounds, distinguished from industrial grades by rigorous testing standards.
Polymerization Grade Ethylbenzene
Ultra-high purity ethylbenzene (99.9%+) with low benzene content (<50 ppm) for dehydrogenation reactors producing polystyrene precursor styrene. Classifies under 2902.60.00.00 as defined cyclic hydrocarbon per Chapter 29 exclusion from petroleum mixtures.
