Products classified under HTS 3904.50.00.00
Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC) Resin
Polyvinylidene chloride resin is a primary form homopolymer where vinylidene chloride monomer constitutes 95% or more by weight, used primarily for its exceptional barrier properties against oxygen and moisture. It falls under HTS 3904.50.00.00 as a vinylidene chloride polymer in primary forms such as pellets or granules. This classification follows chapter notes specifying polymers named by 'poly' prefix with predominant monomer content.
Saran Resin Pellets
Saran resin pellets are granular primary forms of polyvinylidene chloride homopolymer, trademarked for food packaging films due to high gas barrier properties. Classified under HTS 3904.50.00.00 as vinylidene chloride polymers meeting the 95% monomer rule in primary forms. Not for end-use articles like films, which shift to Chapter 39 headings like 3920.
Vinylidene Chloride Homopolymer Granules
Granules of vinylidene chloride homopolymer in primary form for extrusion into barrier films, with vinylidene chloride at 97% by weight. HTS 3904.50.00.00 covers these as it specifies polymers where the named monomer dominates per chapter subheading note (a)(1). Used in meat wrap and medical packaging.
PVDC Copolymer Pellets 96% VDC
Pellets of copolymer with 96% vinylidene chloride and minor methyl acrylate for flexibility, still classified as vinylidene chloride polymer under HTS 3904.50.00.00 per note (a)(1) prefix rule. Primary form for converting to coextruded films.
Barrier Grade PVDC Resin
High-barrier grade PVDC resin in primary pellet form, 98% vinylidene chloride, for pharmaceutical blister packaging. Falls squarely under HTS 3904.50.00.00 as primary vinylidene chloride polymer per strict 95% monomer criterion in chapter notes.
Food Grade Vinylidene Chloride Polymer
Food-contact compliant vinylidene chloride polymer granules meeting FDA specs, with 95.5% VDC monomer for fresh produce wrap production. HTS 3904.50.00.00 applies to these primary forms under polymer classification rules.
Industrial PVDC Pellets
Industrial-grade PVDC pellets for heavy-duty coating applications, 99% vinylidene chloride homopolymer in primary form. Precisely matches HTS 3904.50.00.00 criteria for vinylidene chloride polymers.
High Purity VDC Homopolymer
Ultra-high purity vinylidene chloride homopolymer for specialty coatings, exceeding 99% monomer purity in powder/granule primary form. HTS 3904.50.00.00 per definitive prefix polymer note.
PVDC for Medical Packaging Resin
Specialty PVDC resin pellets for medical blister packs, 95.2% vinylidene chloride meeting USP standards in primary form. Classified HTS 3904.50.00.00 following chapter polymer predominance rules.
Extrusion Grade Saran Polymer
Extrusion-grade Saran PVDC polymer in primary pellets for blown film lines, 97% VDC content. HTS 3904.50.00.00 as primary form vinylidene chloride polymer per notes.
