Products classified under HTS 3209.10.00.00
Acrylic Latex Wall Paint
A water-based acrylic latex paint designed for interior and exterior walls, dispersed in an aqueous medium with acrylic polymers as the primary binder. It falls under HTS 3209.10.00.00 because it is a paint based on acrylic polymers dissolved or dispersed in water, used for surface coloring and protection. This classification excludes oil-based or solvent-based alternatives.
Vinyl Acrylic Enamel for Metal
A water-dispersed enamel paint combining vinyl and acrylic polymers, formulated for corrosion-resistant coating on metal surfaces like machinery and vehicles. Classified under HTS 3209.10.00.00 due to its acrylic/vinyl polymer base in an aqueous medium, distinguishing it from solvent enamels. It provides durability and adhesion for industrial applications.
Water-Based Acrylic House Paint
An exterior-grade acrylic polymer paint in aqueous dispersion for residential house siding and trim, offering weather resistance and mildew inhibition. It is classified in HTS 3209.10.00.00 as a paint based on acrylic polymers in water, not qualifying as a lacquer or enamel. Ideal for DIY and professional painting projects.
Acrylic Clear Varnish for Wood
A transparent water-based varnish using acrylic polymers dispersed in aqueous medium, applied to protect indoor wood furniture and floors. Under HTS 3209.10.00.00 for its synthetic acrylic base in water, providing UV protection without yellowing. Differs from oil varnishes by its low odor and quick dry time.
Vinyl Acrylic Primer for Drywall
A water-thinned primer with vinyl acrylic copolymers for sealing new drywall before topcoating, minimizing absorption and stains. Classified HTS 3209.10.00.00 as an aqueous paint based on vinyl/acrylic polymers, essential for professional painting prep. High-titanium pigment loading for opacity.
Acrylic Lacquer for Automotive Trim
Water-based acrylic lacquer for plastic automotive interior trim, offering high gloss and chemical resistance in an aqueous dispersion. HTS 3209.10.00.00 applies to its vinyl/acrylic polymer base, unlike traditional nitrocellulose lacquers. Used in OEM assembly lines.
Waterborne Acrylic Floor Paint
Durable acrylic polymer paint in water for concrete and epoxy floors in garages and warehouses, with anti-slip additives. Falls under HTS 3209.10.00.00 for aqueous synthetic polymer dispersion paints. Resists abrasion and chemicals.
Acrylic Pool Paint
Water-based acrylic coating for concrete swimming pools, providing waterproofing and algae resistance via polymer dispersion. HTS 3209.10.00.00 for acrylic-based aqueous paints. Applied in multiple thin coats.
Vinyl Acrylic Roof Coating
