HS Code:
Triallyl cyanurate (2,4,6-tris(allyloxy)-1,3,5-triazine) (CAS No. 101-37-1) is a specialty chemical used primarily as a crosslinking agent and co-monomer in the production of high-performance polymers and resins. Classified under HS Code 2933.69.60, it is integral in industries such as plastics, rubber, and coatings, where it enhances thermal stability and mechanical properties. This compound is a niche product with a relatively small but critical market, driven by demand in advanced manufacturing and industrial applications.
