cpc code 3440 encompasses a diverse range of natural mineral products, oils, and derivatives derived from the processing of coniferous woods and other natural sources. These materials play a vital role in various industries, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and construction, contributing to the broader economy through their versatile applications.

Production process

The production of the items under cpc code 3440 typically involves a combination of extraction, distillation, and refining processes. For example, tall oil is extracted from the black liquor generated during the kraft pulping process, while pine oil is obtained through the steam distillation of pine tree resin. Rosin and resin acids are often derived from the distillation of pine tree sap, and wood tar is produced through the pyrolysis of wood.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 3440 items include coniferous wood, such as pine and fir, as well as various mineral resources. Specialized equipment, such as distillation columns, evaporators, and centrifuges, are also necessary for the extraction and purification of these natural products. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in chemical processing and refining techniques.

Production outputs

The outputs of cpc code 3440 are used in a wide range of industries. Activated natural mineral products, such as bentonite and diatomite, find applications in 3429 Paints, varnishes and similar coatings, printing ink and mastics, 2423 Pharmaceuticals, medicinal chemicals and botanical products, and 2699 Other non-metallic mineral products n.e.c.. Tall oil and its derivatives are used in the production of 2429 Other chemical products n.e.c., while pine oil and rosin are utilized in 2424 Soap and detergents, cleaning and polishing preparations, perfumes and toilet preparations.
