Products classified under HTS 3204.17.20.00
Copper Phthalocyanine Blue Crude
Copper phthalocyanine blue crude is a synthetic organic coloring matter in its unprocessed form, specifically the chemical compound [Phthalocyanato(2-)-copper]. It is not ready for use as a pigment and requires further processing like purification and milling to become usable. Classified under HTS 3204.17.20.00 as it matches the exact description of copper phthalocyanine not ready for pigment use.
Alpha Copper Phthalocyanine Powder
Alpha form of copper phthalocyanine is a coarse blue powder used as a base for high-strength blue pigments in paints and inks. This crude version is not ready for direct pigment use and needs additional treatment. It fits HTS 3204.17.20.00 due to its specific chemical identity as unprocessed copper phthalocyanine.
Beta Copper Phthalocyanine Crude
Beta copper phthalocyanine crude serves as the raw material for brilliant green-shade blue pigments in plastics and coatings. Not suitable for immediate use as a pigment without further refinement. HTS 3204.17.20.00 covers this exact unprocessed chemical compound.
Heliogen Blue Crude L 7082
Heliogen Blue Crude L 7082 is a commercial grade of copper phthalocyanine alpha modification from BASF, supplied as raw powder for pigment production. Requires finishing steps like acid pasting. Classed in HTS 3204.17.20.00 as specified unready pigment material.
Monastral Blue Crude
Monastral Blue Crude refers to ICI's trade name for copper phthalocyanine used in calcined pigment processes for automotive paints. This unprocessed form needs additional synthesis steps. HTS 3204.17.20.00 precisely describes this chemical.
Phthalocyanine Copper Complex Blue 15:0
Blue 15:0 is the pigment index name for unchlorinated copper phthalocyanine crude, used in manufacturing high-performance organic pigments. This form is not ready for end-use as a pigment. Directly matches HTS 3204.17.20.00 for copper phthalocyanine not ready for pigment use.
