Products classified under HTS 3909.10.00.00
Urea-Formaldehyde Resin Powder
Urea-formaldehyde resin in powdered primary form, produced by condensing urea and formaldehyde, used primarily in wood adhesives and particleboard production. It falls under HTS 3909.10.00.00 as a urea resin in primary form, meeting the 95% monomer content requirement for the named polymer. This thermosetting resin hardens irreversibly upon heating.
Melamine-Urea-Formaldehyde (MUF) Copolymer Resin
A copolymer resin where urea-formaldehyde units predominate over 95% by weight, used in laminated wood panels and molding compounds. Classified under HTS 3909.10.00.00 due to the predominant urea resin content per subheading note (a)(4). It offers enhanced moisture resistance compared to pure urea-formaldehyde.
Thiourea-Formaldehyde Resin Granules
Thiourea-formaldehyde resin in granular primary form, a sulfur analog of urea resins used in specialty adhesives and ion-exchange resins. It qualifies for HTS 3909.10.00.00 as explicitly named thiourea resins in primary forms. Less common than urea types but valued for chemical resistance.
Urea-Resin Molding Compound Pellets
Pelletized urea-formaldehyde resin in primary form for compression molding of electrical insulators and dinnerware. Falls under HTS 3909.10.00.00 as unmodified urea resin exceeding 95% polymer content. Provides high rigidity and heat resistance in finished molded articles.
Liquid Urea-Formaldehyde Pre-Condensate Resin
Low-molecular-weight liquid urea-formaldehyde resin (pre-polymer) in primary form for plywood glues, with >95% urea-formaldehyde units. Classified HTS 3909.10.00.00 as primary urea resin before final curing. Adjustable viscosity for spray or roller application in wood bonding.
Low-Formaldehyde Emission Urea Resin
Scavenger-modified urea-formaldehyde resin in primary powder form with reduced free formaldehyde for interior paneling. Still classified under HTS 3909.10.00.00 as the core urea resin meets 95% criteria per subheading note (a)(1). Meets CARB Phase 2 emission standards.
Urea-Resin Textile Finishing Agent Concentrate
Concentrated urea-formaldehyde resin emulsion for crease-resistant textile finishing, >95% active polymer content. HTS 3909.10.00.00 applies as primary urea resin form before textile application. Provides durable press properties to cotton fabrics.
High-Purity Urea Resin for Foundry Binders
Ultra-pure urea-formaldehyde resin powder for core binder systems in metal casting, with consistent polymerization properties. Classified HTS 3909.10.00.00 as primary form urea resin per 95% monomer rule. Rapid curing enables complex sand mold production.
Urea-Thiourea Copolymer Resin
Copolymer where urea units predominate over thiourea (>95% combined per subheading note), used in paper impregnation. HTS 3909.10.00.00 covers as urea resin series with predominant monomer. Improves wet strength in specialty papers.
Spray-Dried Urea Formaldehyde Microcapsules
Microencapsulated urea-formaldehyde resin in primary powder form for controlled-release applications in inks and fragrances. Still HTS 3909.10.00.00 as chemically unmodified polymer shell (>95% content). Particle size 1-50 microns enables precise encapsulation.
