Products classified under HTS 3402.42.90.00
Alcohol Ethoxylate Surfactant
Alcohol ethoxylate is a non-ionic organic surface-active agent used in industrial formulations for detergents and cleaners. It meets the Chapter 34 definition by reducing surface tension in water to below 45 dyne/cm at 0.5% concentration, forming stable emulsions. Classified under 3402.42.90.00 as other non-ionic surfactants not put up for retail sale.
Nonylphenol Ethoxylate NP-10
NP-10 is a nonylphenol ethoxylate non-ionic surfactant used in emulsifiers and wetting agents for industrial cleaning. It qualifies under heading 3402 by forming transparent emulsions and significantly reducing water surface tension per chapter notes. Falls in 3402.42.90.00 as other non-ionic agents.
Coco Glucoside Surfactant
Coco glucoside is an alkyl polyglucoside non-ionic surfactant derived from coconut oil and glucose, used in eco-friendly cleaners. It complies with 3402 criteria for organic surface-active agents by emulsifying properties and surface tension reduction. Classified in 3402.42.90.00 as other non-ionic.
Polysorbate 80 Surfactant
Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) is a polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate non-ionic emulsifier used in pharmaceuticals and food processing. Meets heading 3402 test for stable emulsions and low surface tension. HTS 3402.42.90.00 covers this as other non-ionic surface-active agent.
Lauryl Glucoside Nonionic Surfactant
Lauryl glucoside is a mild non-ionic surfactant from lauryl alcohol and glucose, ideal for personal care formulations. It forms translucent solutions and reduces surface tension per 3402 notes, classifying as other non-ionic under 3402.42.90.00.
Oleyl Alcohol Ethoxylate
Oleyl alcohol ethoxylate is a non-ionic surfactant for textile and leather processing, providing wetting and dispersing. Qualifies via chapter test for emulsion stability and tension reduction. 3402.42.90.00 for other non-ionic agents.
Castor Oil Ethoxylate Surfactant
Ethoxylated castor oil serves as a non-ionic emulsifier in agrochemicals and paints. Conforms to 3402 surface-active definition through lab tests on emulsions and tension. HTS 3402.42.90.00 as other.
Decyl Glucoside Mild Surfactant
Decyl glucoside is a non-ionic alkyl polyglucoside surfactant for baby shampoos and cleaners. Meets precise 3402 criteria for non-separating emulsions at 0.5%. Other non-ionic in 3402.42.90.00.
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
