About HS Code 293145

This HS code specifically identifies the salt of methylphosphonic acid and (aminominomethyl) urea (1:1), a specialized non-halogenated organo-phosphorous derivative. This compound is primarily utilized as a flame retardant or a component in fire-resistant materials, leveraging the synergistic properties of methylphosphonic acid and urea. It is traded by specialty chemical manufacturers and companies in the construction, textile, and electronics industries, where fire safety is paramount. Its application is driven by its ability to impart effective fire-retardant properties to various substrates, enhancing safety standards.

Products Under This Code

Methylphosphonic acid-aminomethylurea salt, Flame retardant additive, Phosphorous-urea compound, Fire-resistant chemical

Real World Examples

Clariant (for flame retardants), ICL Group, Lanxess, BASF (for specialty additives)

Common Misclassification

Could be confused with other flame retardants (e.g., 2931.90 for 'other' organo-phosphorous compounds or Chapter 38 for formulated products) or even other urea derivatives (2924.19) without the phosphorous component.
