Products classified under HTS 3209.90.00.00
Acrylic Latex House Paint
A water-based acrylic latex paint designed for interior and exterior house walls, dispersed in an aqueous medium with synthetic polymer binders. It falls under HTS 3209.90.00.00 as it is based on synthetic polymers dissolved or dispersed in water, classified as 'other' paints not specified elsewhere in heading 3209. This excludes oil-based or solvent-based alternatives.
Water-Based Polyurethane Varnish
A clear protective varnish based on water-dispersed polyurethane polymers, used for wood furniture and floors. Classified under HTS 3209.90.00.00 for synthetic polymer varnishes in aqueous media, distinct from solvent-borne varnishes. It provides durable finish without high VOC emissions.
Aqueous Acrylic Enamel Paint
High-gloss enamel paint using acrylic polymers dispersed in water, ideal for metal surfaces like machinery. HTS 3209.90.00.00 covers this as 'other' enamels based on synthetic polymers in aqueous medium, excluding specified subheadings. It offers corrosion resistance and easy cleanup.
Waterborne Epoxy Primer
A rust-inhibiting primer with epoxy resins emulsified in water for metal preparation before painting. Falls under HTS 3209.90.00.00 as other aqueous synthetic polymer paints/varnishes. Provides adhesion and corrosion protection in industrial applications.
Latex Trim Paint
Semi-gloss white latex paint for wood trim and doors, using styrene-acrylic copolymers in water. HTS 3209.90.00.00 applies to this unspecified synthetic polymer dispersion paint. Dries quickly with low odor for residential use.
Aqueous Alkyd Enamel
Modified alkyd resin enamel dispersed in water for smooth finishes on cabinets. Chemically modified natural polymers in aqueous medium qualify under HTS 3209.90.00.00 'other'. Balances durability of traditional alkyds with eco-friendly water base.
Water-Based Artist Acrylic Paint
Professional-grade tube acrylic paints for artists, with pigments in aqueous acrylic emulsion. HTS 3209.90.00.00 for other synthetic polymer paints not in subheadings. Offers vibrant colors and archival quality.
Aqueous Industrial Floor Coating
Durable two-part water-based epoxy coating for concrete warehouse floors. Synthetic polymers dispersed in aqueous medium under HTS 3209.90.00.00. Resists chemicals and heavy traffic.
Water-Dispersed Styrene-Butadiene Paint
Synthetic rubber-based latex paint for masonry, using styrene-butadiene in water. 'Other' under HTS 3209.90.00.00 for aqueous synthetic polymers. Excellent flexibility for exterior walls.
Eco-Friendly Aqueous Lacquer
Low-VOC clear lacquer with acrylic-polyurethane in water for furniture. HTS 3209.90.00.00 covers unspecified aqueous synthetic lacquers. Fast-drying with high clarity.
