4. Q5-8401 Silicone Adhesive Part A and B are formulated products containing silicone polymers. Part A is mixed with Part B at a 50:50 ratio and is used as temperature resistant adhesive/sealant.

The applicable subheading for the Molykote 7620 AF Coating, Molykote 1121 Grease, 1122 Chain and Open Gear Grease will be 3403.99.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for lubricating preparations (including cutting....based on lubricants)....Containing petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals...Other:...
