3501 Casein, caseinates and other casein derivatives; casein adhesives: 3501 10 – casein 3501 90 – other

(A) Casein, caseinates and other casein derivatives. (1) Casein is the principal protein constituent of milk. It is obtained from skimmed milk by precipitation (curdling), usually with acids or rennet. The heading covers the various types of casein which differ from one another according to the method of curdling – acid casein, caseinogen and rennet casein (paracasein). Casein is usually a yellowish-white granular powder, soluble in alkalis but insoluble in water. It is used mainly in the preparation of glues, distempers and adhesive paints, for coating paper and in the manufacture of casein plastics (hardened casein), man-made fibres, dietetic or pharmaceutical products. (2) Caseinates (salts of casein), known as "soluble caseins", include the sodium and ammonium salts; these salts are generally used in the preparation of concentrated foods and pharmaceutical products. Calcium caseinate is used in the preparation of foodstuffs or as a glue, depending on its properties. (3) Other casein derivatives include, inter alia, chlorinated casein, brominated casein, iodised casein and tannate of casein. They are used in pharmacy.

(B) Casein glues. These adhesives consist of calcium caseinate (see paragraph (2) above) or of mixtures of casein and chalk with the addition of, for example, a small amount of borax or ammonium chloride. It's usually powder. This heading does not include: (a) caseinates of precious metals (heading 2843) or caseinates of headings 2844 to 2846 and 2852; (b) products which are incorrectly described as “plant casein” (heading 3504); (c) casein adhesives packaged for retail sale net weight not exceeding 1 kg (heading 3506); (d) cured casein (heading 3913).
