CPC v2.1 Code: 15200

About gypsum; anhydrite; limestone flux; limestone and other calcareous stone, of a kind used for the manufacture of lime or cement

cpc code 15200 encompasses a diverse range of mineral resources that are essential for the production of lime and cement, two of the most fundamental building materials in the construction industry. These materials play a crucial role in the development of infrastructure, housing, and various other construction projects, making them integral to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under cpc code 15200 typically involves mining, crushing, and processing the raw mineral resources. Gypsum, anhydrite, and limestone are extracted from natural deposits, often using heavy machinery and blasting techniques. The extracted materials are then crushed, ground, and refined to meet the specific requirements for the manufacture of lime and cement.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials under cpc code 15200 include the raw mineral resources themselves, such as gypsum, anhydrite, and various types of limestone. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized mining and processing equipment, as well as energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 15200 are the processed mineral resources, which are then used as key ingredients in the manufacture of lime and cement. These materials are essential for the 15100 Manufacture of cement, lime and plaster industry, as well as the 41000 Construction of buildings and 42000 Civil engineering sectors, which consume large quantities of lime and cement for their construction projects.
