Products classified under HTS 3903.90.10.00

MBS Copolymer Resin Pellets

Transparent pellets of methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) copolymer, where the comonomer units of methyl methacrylate, butadiene, and styrene contribute 95% or more by weight of the total polymer content. This specific copolymer is classified under HTS 3903.90.1000 as it falls within the named subheading for MBS copolymers in primary forms. Used primarily as an impact modifier for rigid PVC in manufacturing.

Impact-Modified MBS Polymer Granules

Granular primary form of MBS copolymer designed for high-impact applications, meeting the 95% weight threshold for methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene comonomers. Classified specifically under 3903.90.1000 due to the named copolymer designation in the HTS. Commonly added to PVC for clear, tough profiles like window frames.

Clear MBS Copolymer Beads for PVC Toughening

High-clarity MBS copolymer beads in primary form, with precise 95%+ comonomer composition of methyl methacrylate, butadiene, and styrene. This material is explicitly named in subheading 3903.90.1000 for import classification. Essential for producing transparent, impact-resistant PVC sheets and films.

MBS Impact Modifier Powder (Core-Shell Type)

Fine powder form of core-shell MBS copolymer where butadiene core is rubber-modified with MMA/styrene shell, meeting 95% comonomer criteria. Classified under the specific MBS subheading 3903.90.1000 in primary forms. Used in extrusion and injection molding for enhanced toughness.

High-Impact MBS Copolymer for Medical PVC

Phthalate-free MBS copolymer pellets optimized for medical-grade PVC applications, with verified 95%+ named comonomer content. Falls squarely under HTS 3903.90.1000 as named styrene copolymer in primary form. Provides clarity and impact resistance for IV bags and tubing.
