Products classified under HTS 3212.90.00.10
Aluminum Paste Pigment for Automotive Paints
This is a liquid aluminum pigment paste dispersed in nonaqueous mineral spirits, specifically formulated for incorporation into automotive enamel paints to provide metallic sheen. It falls under HTS 3212.90.00.10 as metallic aluminum pigments in paste form used in paint manufacturing, excluded from Chapter 32 headings for such dispersions. The high metallic content ensures durability and sparkle in vehicle finishes.
Metallic Aluminum Flake Paste for Industrial Coatings
A paste-form metallic aluminum pigment with fine leafing flakes suspended in odorless mineral spirits, designed for industrial enamel coatings on machinery and equipment. Classified under HTS 3212.90.00.10 due to its dispersion in nonaqueous media specifically for paint production. Provides superior leafing effect for corrosion-resistant finishes.
Leafing Aluminum Pigment Dispersion for Enamels
Leafing aluminum pigment in liquid paste form, dispersed in aliphatic hydrocarbons for enamel manufacturing, creating floating metallic surfaces. HTS 3212.90.00.10 applies to these nonaqueous dispersions intended as paint ingredients, not finished products. Ideal for decorative and protective enamel applications.
Non-Leafing Aluminum Paste for Aerosol Paints
Non-leafing aluminum pigment paste in nonaqueous solvent, used in formulating aerosol spray paints for solid metallic effects. Falls under HTS 3212.90.00.10 as it's dispersed for paint manufacture, providing uniform distribution without surface floating. Commonly used in DIY and touch-up paint production.
High-Solids Aluminum Pigment Paste for Powder Coatings
Concentrated aluminum pigment paste with minimal nonaqueous carrier, designed for incorporation into powder coating formulations before curing. Classified HTS 3212.90.00.10 for paint manufacturing dispersions, even though final use is dry powder. Enables brilliant metallic finishes on appliances and furniture.
Micronized Aluminum Flake Dispersion for Marine Paints
Finely micronized aluminum flake pigment in paste form with anti-corrosive additives, dispersed in nonaqueous media for marine enamel paints. HTS 3212.90.00.10 covers this as paint ingredient, providing anti-fouling metallic protection for ship hulls. Particle size optimized for spray application.
