Electrically Conductive Synthetic Latex
Carbon-filled latex for antistatic gloves, permitted conductive additives. Classed 4002.91.00.00.
Oil-Resistant Nitrile Latex Concentrate
Concentrated NBR latex for gaskets/seals. Primary synthetic latex.
Styrene-Butadiene Latex (SBR Latex)
Styrene-butadiene latex is a water-based dispersion of synthetic rubber copolymer used primarily in the production of latex gloves, adhesives, and paper coatings. It qualifies under HTS 4002.91.00.00 as a synthetic rubber latex in primary form, meeting the vulcanization and elasticity criteria outlined in chapter notes for synthetic rubber.
Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Latex (NBR Latex)
Nitrile latex is a synthetic rubber dispersion offering oil and chemical resistance, commonly used for disposable gloves and medical products. Classified under HTS 4002.91.00.00 as it is a prevulcanized or standard latex form of synthetic rubber per chapter definitions.
Carboxylated Styrene-Butadiene Latex
This modified SBR latex with carboxylic groups enhances adhesion for carpet backing and textiles. HTS 4002.91.00.00 applies as it remains a synthetic rubber latex dispersion, with permitted special additives like viscosity agents.
Polybutadiene Latex
Polybutadiene latex serves as a base for tire cord dipping and synthetic latex products. It is classified in HTS 4002.91.00.00 for its synthetic rubber latex primary form, compliant with elongation/recovery tests.
