Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 2916.12.50
Methyl Acrylate
Methyl acrylate is the methyl ester of acrylic acid, an unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid. It falls under HTS 2916.12.50 as an 'other' ester of acrylic acid, used primarily in the production of polymers, resins, and adhesives. This classification applies to pure chemical forms meeting Chapter 29 notes for separate chemically defined organic compounds.
n-Butyl Acrylate
n-Butyl acrylate, the butyl ester of acrylic acid, is classified in HTS 2916.12.50 as an other acrylic ester. Widely used as a monomer in latex paints, adhesives, and flexible coatings due to its unsaturated monocarboxylic structure. Qualifies under Chapter 29 for pure, chemically defined organic compounds.
2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate
2-Ethylhexyl acrylate is a branched-chain ester of acrylic acid under HTS 2916.12.50 ('other'). Used in pressure-sensitive adhesives, sealants, and soft-touch coatings for its flexibility. Its unsaturated acyclic structure fits Chapter 29 heading 2916 precisely.
Isobutyl Acrylate
Isobutyl acrylate, an isomer ester of acrylic acid, is covered by HTS 2916.12.50 as 'other' esters. Serves as a comonomer in impact-resistant polymers and specialty coatings. Chemically defined per Chapter 29 notes (a).
tert-Butyl Acrylate
tert-Butyl acrylate is a sterically hindered acrylic ester under HTS 2916.12.50. Used in UV-curable resins and electronics due to hydrolysis resistance. Pure compound classification per Chapter 29.
2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate
2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) contains both acrylic ester and hydroxyl functionality, classified HTS 2916.12.50. Essential for water-soluble polymers, urethanes, and reactive diluents. Oxygen function classified with ester per Chapter 29 note 3(A).
2-Hydroxypropyl Acrylate
2-Hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA) is an acrylic ester with hydroxy functionality under 2916.12.50. Used in hydrogel production and crosslinkable coatings. Ester classification prevails per Chapter 29 rules.
