About HS Code 390730

This HS code covers epoxide resins, commonly known as epoxy resins, in primary forms such as liquid resins, solid flakes, or pellets. Epoxy resins are thermosetting polymers highly valued for their exceptional adhesive properties, chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and electrical insulation. They are crucial raw materials in a vast array of high-performance applications, including coatings (protective and decorative), adhesives (structural bonding), composites (aerospace, wind energy), electrical and electronic encapsulation, and flooring. Major importers are typically countries with advanced manufacturing sectors in these areas, such as China, Germany, and the USA. Exporters often include nations with strong chemical production capabilities like the USA, Germany, and South Korea. The trade in epoxy resins is driven by the continuous demand for durable, high-strength materials across critical industries, making them indispensable for modern engineering and construction.

Products Under This Code

Bisphenol A epoxy resin, bisphenol F epoxy resin, novolac epoxy resin, cycloaliphatic epoxy resin, epoxy resin liquid, epoxy resin solid, epoxy resin solution

Real World Examples
