About paper and paperboard coated with kaolin or with other inorganic substances

cpc code 32143 covers the production of paper and paperboard coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader paper and pulp sector, providing specialized materials for a range of applications, from packaging to printing. The coatings applied to these products enhance their physical properties, making them more suitable for specific end-uses and contributing to the overall efficiency and versatility of the paper and paperboard supply chain.

Production process

The production of paper and paperboard coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base paper or paperboard is manufactured using traditional pulping and papermaking techniques. The coatings are then applied using specialized machinery, such as blade coaters or air-knife coaters, which evenly distribute the coating material across the surface of the substrate. The coated material is then dried and, in some cases, further processed to achieve the desired finish and properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 32143 products include raw paper or paperboard, kaolin or other inorganic coating materials, and specialized coating application equipment. The quality and properties of the base paper or paperboard, as well as the composition and application of the coatings, are critical factors in determining the final product characteristics. Additionally, energy, water, and skilled labor are important inputs for the efficient and sustainable operation of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 32143 are coated paper and paperboard products, which are used in a variety of applications, including 32111 Pulp, paper and paperboard, 32112 Corrugated paper and paperboard and containers of paper and paperboard, and 32121 Paper stationery. These coated materials may be further processed or converted into specific end-use products, such as packaging, labels, or specialty printing papers, depending on the requirements of the downstream industries.
