The subject product, KINOX-10, also known as Benzenepropanoic acid, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy-, 2,2-bis[[3-[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-1-oxopropoxy]methyl]-1,3-propanediyl ester, is an ester of a carboxylic acid with an additional oxygen function (phenol). KINOX-76, also known as Benzenepropanoic acid, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy-, octadecyl ester, is an ester of a carboxylic acid with an additional oxygen function (phenol). KNIOX-98, also known as Benzenepropanamide, N,N'-1,6-hexanediylbis[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy-, is a an aromatic cyclic amide derivative. HILITE-77, also known as Di-(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-hydroxy-piperidine)sebacate, is a heterocyclic compound containing an unfused pyridine ring. KINOX-24, also known as Benzenepropanoic acid, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy-, 2-[3-[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-1-oxopropyl]hydrazide, is an organic derivative of hydrazine. KINOX-10 and KINOX-76 are indicated for use as high performance phenolic antioxidants for stabilization of polymers. KINOX-98 is indicated for use as a high performance sterically hindered phenolic antioxidant for stabilization of polymers. HILITE-77 is indicated for use in various applications which require light stabilization of polymers. KINOX-24 is indicated for use as a high performance stabilizer and an efficient metal deactivator for organic polymers. The applicable subheading for KINOX-10 and KINOX-76 will be 2918.29.7500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Carboxylic acids with phenol function but without other oxygen function, their anhydrides halides, peroxides, peroxyacids and their derivatives: Other: Other….
