CPC v2.1 Code: 32137

About vegetable parchment, greaseproof papers, tracing papers and glassine and other glazed transparent or translucent papers

cpc code 32137 encompasses a diverse range of specialty paper products that play a crucial role in various industries. These materials, including vegetable parchment, greaseproof papers, tracing papers, and glassine, are valued for their unique properties such as transparency, grease resistance, and heat resistance. They find widespread application in packaging, food service, and industrial sectors, contributing to the efficient and safe handling of a wide array of goods and materials.

Production process

The production of these specialty papers typically involves specialized manufacturing processes. Vegetable parchment, for instance, is created by subjecting cellulose-based paper to controlled chemical treatment, which alters the paper's structure and imparts properties like grease resistance and translucency. Greaseproof papers are produced through a similar process, while tracing papers are made by applying a thin coating or treatment to enhance their transparency and suitability for technical drawings and designs. Glassine and other glazed papers undergo a glazing process, which involves the application of a smooth, glossy finish to achieve their characteristic appearance and properties.

Production inputs

The manufacture of cpc code 32137 products requires a range of raw materials, including high-quality cellulose-based paper, specialized chemicals for treatment and coating, and advanced machinery for the various production steps. Pulp and paper mills, chemical suppliers, and specialized equipment manufacturers are key players in the supply chain that supports this industry.

Production outputs

The outputs of cpc code 32137 are primarily used as packaging materials, protective liners, and technical drawing media. These products are often consumed by industries such as 32111 Food packaging, 32112 Household and personal care packaging, and 32119 Other packaging, as well as the 32201 Printing, 32202 Reproduction of recorded media, and 32209 Other publishing activities sectors.
