Elastomeric Polyurethane Resin for Industrial Coatings from Japan
This is a primary form elastomeric polyurethane polymer used as a base resin for formulating durable industrial coatings and sealants. It meets the subheading criteria as a polyurethane where the monomer units contribute over 95% by weight, specifically designed for elastomeric properties providing flexibility and abrasion resistance. Classified under 3909.50.10.00 as elastomeric polyurethanes in primary forms.

Import Tips
• Verify polymer composition via lab testing to confirm 95%+ polyurethane monomer content per subheading note (a)(1) to avoid reclassification to 'Other'
• Provide manufacturer's specification sheets documenting elastomeric properties and primary form (non-compounded) for CBP review
