cpc code 344 encompasses a diverse range of natural products derived from the processing of various plant and mineral sources. These materials play a crucial role in numerous industries, from chemical manufacturing to construction and beyond. The products covered under this code are essential inputs for a wide array of downstream applications, making this industry a vital component of the broader economy.

Production process

The production techniques for the items under cpc code 344 typically involve the extraction, distillation, or chemical treatment of natural raw materials. For example, tall oil is obtained as a byproduct of the kraft pulping process, while pine oil is extracted through the steam distillation of pine tree biomass. Rosin and resin acids are often derived from the sap of coniferous trees, while wood tar and creosote are produced through the pyrolysis of wood.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the industries covered under cpc code 344 include various plant-based raw materials, such as coniferous trees, tall oil, and vegetable matter. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery for extraction, distillation, and chemical processing are necessary. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also crucial for the production of these natural products.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industries under cpc code 344 are widely used as inputs for a diverse range of other industries. For instance, 345 Oils, fats, and waxes of animal or vegetable origin may consume tall oil, rosin, and resin acids, while 351 Basic organic chemicals may utilize crude dipentene and para-cymene. Additionally, wood tar, creosote, and naphtha find applications in 354 Paints, varnishes, and related products and 355 Pharmaceuticals, medicinal chemicals, and botanical products.
