Products classified under HTS 4002.51.00.00
NBR Latex for Medical Gloves
Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) latex in a prevulcanized aqueous dispersion, used primarily for dipping to produce synthetic medical examination gloves. This falls under HTS 4002.51.00.00 as synthetic rubber latex in primary form, meeting the chapter definition for synthetic rubber capable of vulcanization without compounding additives that alter its raw material character.
Prevulcanized NBR Latex for Adhesives
Prevulcanized NBR latex dispersion designed for water-based adhesive formulations in footwear and automotive bonding. Classified under 4002.51.00.00 as it retains essential character as synthetic rubber latex in primary liquid form per chapter notes, without prohibited compounding.
NBR Latex for Foam Rubber Production
Synthetic NBR latex used in froth foaming processes to create rubber foams for seals and gaskets. This primary form latex complies with HTS 4002.51.00.00 specifications for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber dispersions suitable for vulcanization.
Carboxylated NBR Latex for Dipping
Carboxylated acrylonitrile-butadiene latex enhanced for better film strength in dipping applications like balloons and condoms. Remains under 4002.51.00.00 as a primary synthetic rubber latex form with permitted modifications.
High Acrylonitrile NBR Latex
NBR latex with elevated acrylonitrile content (35-45%) for oil-resistant coatings and gloves. Classified as latex form of synthetic rubber under HTS 4002.51.00.00, essential for industrial protective gear.
NBR Latex for Paper Coating
Stable NBR latex emulsion for saturating and coating paper to create water-resistant labels and packaging. Meets primary form criteria of HTS 4002.51.00.00 without prohibited surface-working.
Low Ammonia NBR Latex
NBR latex stabilized with low ammonia levels to minimize odor in carpet backing and textile coating. Primary liquid form synthetic rubber per HTS 4002.51.00.00 chapter notes.
NBR Latex for Tire Cord Dipping
Specialty NBR latex for RFL (resorcinol formaldehyde latex) dipping of tire cords to enhance adhesion. Remains latex primary form under 4002.51.00.00 despite application-specific formulation.
Seed NBR Latex for Polymer Blends
Seed latex of NBR used as core in emulsion polymerization for ABS plastics and blends. Technical primary form qualifying for HTS 4002.51.00.00 as vulcanizable synthetic rubber.
NBR Latex for Industrial Gloves
Heavy-duty NBR latex for flock-lined industrial work gloves resistant to oils and chemicals. Primary dispersion form under HTS 4002.51.00.00 for dipping production.
