Bismaleimide-Triazine (BT) Resin Pellets

BT resin is a thermosetting polymer formed from 1,1'-Bis(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione copolymerized with 4,4'-methylenebis(benzeneamine), used in high-performance laminates. It falls under HTS 3911.90.35.00 due to its specific aromatic thermosetting composition in primary pellet form. This material provides excellent thermal stability for electronics applications.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3911.90Same rate: 35%

If monomer units do not meet exact named copolymer specification

Polymers not matching the specific bismaleimide copolymer fall into the general 'other thermosetting' category within the same aromatic series.

3909Lower: 16.3% vs 35%

If for unmodified poly(p-phenylene oxide) polymers

If chemically similar but derived from different aromatic monomers like polyphenylene ether, classification shifts to Chapter 39 heading for those polymers.

3921.90Lower: 14.8% vs 35%

If imported as prepregs or combined with reinforcement fibers

Plates, sheets, or profiles incorporating the resin with glass fabric become 'other plates/sheets' rather than primary form polymers.
