ion exchangers based on polymers of headings 3901 to 3913
HS Code (6-digit)
3914.00.••.••
The 6-digit HS code for ion exchangers based on polymers of headings 3901 to 3913 is 3914.00.
The first 6 digits are the same in every country using the Harmonized System; the full 8-10 digit national code (e.g. EU TARIC, US HTSUS) depends on the destination country.
Ion-exchangers based on polymers of headings 3901 to 3913, in primary forms
Ion-exchangers of this heading are cross-linked polymers, generally in granular form, containing active ionic groups (usually sulphonic, carboxylic, phenolic or amino groups). These active ionic groups enable the polymers, when brought into contact with a solution of an electrolyte, to exchange one of their own types of ions for one of those (of the same sign, positive or negative) contained in the solution. These are used in water-softening, milk-softening, chromatography, for recovery of uranium from acid solutions and of streptomycin from broths and for various other industrial purposes.
