TE-33 Polyphosphonate Primary Pellets
TE-33 grade poly(1,3-phenylene methylphosphonate) pellets designed for extrusion into flame-retardant sheets and profiles. This primary form polymer is specifically named in HTS 3911.20.00.00 due to its defined chemical structure and 95%+ monomer purity. Provides halogen-free fire resistance in thermoplastics.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If low molecular weight liquid variants
Polyethylene polymers in primary forms include low MW liquids; PMMP not meeting solid polymer criteria may shift here by predominant monomer.
If imported as nucleic acid derivative
Certain heterocyclic phosphorus compounds classified as pharmaceuticals/organics in 2934 rather than polymers.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit GPC chromatograms proving molecular weight distribution consistent with PMMP; declare exact CAS number if available; beware of misclassification as 3911.90 if minor impurities exceed documentation thresholds

Poly(1,3-phenylene methylphosphonate) Resin Pellets
Poly(1,3-phenylene methylphosphonate), a phosphorus-containing polymer, is supplied in primary form as translucent pellets for processing into flame-retardant plastics. It falls under HTS 3911.20.00.00 as a specifically named polymer in primary forms (pellets) not elsewhere classified in Chapter 39. This material meets the subheading note requiring the named monomer units to contribute 95% or more by weight.
PMMP Flame-Retardant Polymer Granules
PMMP (Poly(1,3-phenylene methylphosphonate)) granules are primary-form thermoplastic resin used in engineering plastics for fire safety. Classified under HTS 3911.20.00.00 as the specifically enumerated phosphonate polymer meeting 95% monomer content requirement. These granules require melt processing into final flame-retardant components.
