Products classified under HTS 3506.91.10.00
Optically Clear Free-Film Adhesive Sheet for LCD Panels
This is a thin, transparent adhesive film designed specifically for bonding layers in LCD flat panel displays, providing optical clarity without bubbles or distortion. It falls under HTS 3506.91.10.00 because it is an optically clear free-film adhesive used principally in flat panel display manufacturing. The film's properties ensure high light transmission essential for display quality.
UV-Curable Optically Clear Liquid Adhesive for OLED Screens
A liquid adhesive that cures under UV light, offering refractive index matching for OLED touch panels to minimize light loss. Classified under HTS 3506.91.10.00 as an optically clear curable liquid adhesive principally for touch-sensitive screen panels. Its formulation ensures no yellowing or haze in high-resolution displays.
OCA Film for Smartphone Touch Panel Lamination
Optically clear adhesive (OCA) free-film used in vacuum lamination of smartphone touch panels, ensuring bubble-free bonding between digitizer and glass. Classified in HTS 3506.91.10.00 for its principal role in touch-sensitive screen production. Provides index matching critical for AMOLED smartphone displays.
Silicone Optically Clear Free-Film for Flexible Displays
Silicone-based free-film adhesive engineered for flexible OLED displays, accommodating bending without delamination or clarity loss.
