Silicone Anti-Slip Mats
Material:
Silicone anti-slip mats are primarily constructed from silicone rubber, a synthetic polymer known for its flexibility, durability, and resistance to high and low temperatures. The silicone is often combined with other materials to enhance specific properties, such as texture for increased grip.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of these mats is to prevent slipping and provide stability. They achieve this through friction. They also protect surfaces from scratches and dents.
Function:
These mats function by creating a high-friction interface between two surfaces. The textured surface of the silicone increases contact area and resistance to movement. Silicone's inherent tackiness and flexibility contribute to the anti-slip effect.
Usage Scenarios:
Silicone anti-slip mats find broad application in a variety of settings:
- Household: Under rugs, furniture, vases, and other decorative items.
- Automotive: Dashboards, consoles, and other interior surfaces to hold items in place.
- Industrial: Workbenches, machinery bases, and other areas requiring secure placement of equipment.
- Crafting & DIY: Under cutting boards, bowls, or other tools to prevent movement during use.
- Electronics: Holding devices or components in place.
- Kitchen: Under appliances, bowls, or cutting boards to prevent sliding.
- Bathroom: Under rugs or mats to prevent slips on wet floors.
Common Types:
- Sheet/Roll Form: Large sheets or rolls that can be cut to custom sizes.
- Pre-Cut Shapes: Available in standard shapes (squares, circles, strips) or custom die-cut forms.
- Textured vs. Smooth: Textured mats offer greater grip, while smooth mats provide a less visible profile.
- Adhesive vs. Non-Adhesive: Some mats feature an adhesive backing for secure placement.
- Honeycomb/Grid Pattern: Common texture to increase grip.
- Foam-Backed: Offers cushioning in addition to anti-slip properties.
- Colored Silicone: Available in a wide range of colors.
- Transparent Silicone: For applications where a discreet appearance is desired.
Additional Properties:
- Heat Resistance: Silicone generally withstands high temperatures, making it suitable for use near heat sources.
- Water Resistance: Silicone is waterproof.
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to many common chemicals.
- Flexibility: Allows the mats to conform to uneven surfaces.
- Non-Toxic: Food-grade silicone is safe for contact with food.
- Washable: Easily cleaned with soap and water.
- Reusable: Durable and can be used repeatedly.
Based on the declared goods "SILICONEANTI SLIPMAT", the following HS codes are potentially relevant:
- 3926904510: This HS code falls under Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof. Specifically, it covers Heading 3926: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914. The Subheading 3926904510 refers to "Other: Gaskets, washers and other seals O-Rings". While not a direct match, silicone mats can function as seals or cushioning materials. The applicable tax rate is a base tariff of 3.5%, a surcharge of 25.0%, and a surcharge of 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 58.5%.
- 3926909989: This HS code also falls under Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof, Heading 3926: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914. The Subheading 3926909989 is categorized as "Other: Other Other". This is a broad category and could potentially include silicone anti-slip mats not specifically classified elsewhere. The applicable tax rate is a base tariff of 5.3%, a surcharge of 7.5%, and a surcharge of 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 42.8%.
- 4016990500: This HS code is under Chapter 40: Rubber and articles thereof. Specifically, it covers Heading 4016: Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber. The Subheading 4016990500 refers to "Other: Household articles not elsewhere specified or included". Since silicone anti-slip mats are often used in households, this HS code may be applicable. The applicable tax rate is a base tariff of 3.4%, a surcharge of 7.5%, and a surcharge of 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 40.9%.
It is important to note that the final HS code classification depends on the specific material composition and intended use of the silicone anti-slip mat.
