About degras; residues resulting from the treatment of fatty substances or animal or vegetable waxes

cpc code 21932 encompasses the industry responsible for the production of degras, a valuable byproduct derived from the treatment of fatty substances or animal and vegetable waxes. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, as degras finds widespread application in various sectors, including the production of lubricants, leather processing, and the manufacture of certain types of soaps and cosmetics.

Production process

The production of degras typically involves the treatment of fatty substances or animal and vegetable waxes through a series of chemical and physical processes. These processes may include hydrolysis, saponification, and distillation, which help to extract and refine the desired components from the raw materials.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of degras include fatty substances, such as animal fats or vegetable oils, as well as animal and vegetable waxes. Additionally, the industry may rely on specialized equipment and machinery for the various processing steps involved in the production of degras.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is degras, a substance that finds application in a variety of industries. Degras may be further processed or incorporated into the production of 21931 Glycerol, 20411 Fatty acids, crude; fatty acid oils from refining, and 20412 Fatty alcohols, industrial, among other related products.
