Cellulose Acetate Flakes

Cellulose acetate flakes are primary form polymers derived from cellulose esterified with acetic acid, containing over 95% cellulose acetate by weight. They are used in the production of films, fibers, and plastics. Classified under 3912.90.00.90 as a cellulose chemical derivative not elsewhere specified in primary form.

Ethylcellulose Powder

Ethylcellulose powder is a cellulose ether derivative in primary granular form, soluble in organic solvents, used in pharmaceuticals and coatings. It meets the criteria for 'other' cellulose derivatives under 3912.90.00.90 due to predominant ethyl cellulose content.

Carboxymethyl Cellulose Granules

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) granules are water-soluble cellulose ether polymers used as thickeners in food and detergents. Classified in 3912.90.00.90 as other primary cellulose derivatives where CMC monomer units predominate.

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Pellets

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) pellets serve as controlled-release agents in pharmaceuticals, a cellulose ether with mixed substituents. Falls under 3912.90.00.90 per subheading note (a)(4) based on predominant cellulose content.

Cellulose Acetate Butyrate Resin

Cellulose acetate butyrate resin is a mixed ester derivative in primary flake form for tool handles and eyeglass frames. Classified as 'other' cellulose derivative under 3912.90.00.90 since mixed esters don't fit specific subheadings.
