About heading 3812

Prepared rubber accelerators; compound plasticizers for rubber or plastics, not elsewhere specified or included; antioxidizing preparations and other compound stabilizers for rubber or plastics

Heading 3812 covers three families of rubber and plastics additives: prepared rubber accelerators, compound plasticizers, and anti-oxidizing preparations and other compound stabilizers. The heading splits first by product family (3812.10, 3812.20, 3812.31 and 3812.39), then by whether the preparation contains an aromatic or modified aromatic ingredient, and finally by named chemical identity for stabilizers.
