Elastomeric Polyether Polysulfide Resin PER-50

Elastomeric Polyether Polysulfide Resin PER-50 is a primary form copolymer for flexible sealants in construction. It qualifies for HTS 3911.90.10.00 as an elastomeric polysulfide where the named units contribute ≥95% by weight per subheading note (a)(2). The polyether modification enhances flexibility without altering primary classification.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide FTIR or NMR analysis confirming ≥95% polysulfide/polyether comonomer content for subheading (a)(2)

• Label clearly as 'primary form' to prevent confusion with finished adhesives in 3506 or 3921
