Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms
CPC v2.1 Code: 34710
About polymers of ethylene, in primary forms
cpc code 34710 covers the production and trade of polymers of ethylene, which are a crucial component in the manufacturing of a wide range of plastic products. These polymers are used extensively across various industries, including packaging, construction, automotive, and consumer goods. As a fundamental building block of the global plastics industry, the production and trade of ethylene polymers play a significant role in the broader economy.
Production process
The primary production technique for ethylene polymers is polymerization, where ethylene monomers are chemically linked together to form long polymer chains. This process can be carried out using different methods, such as high-pressure, low-pressure, and solution polymerization, each with its own advantages and applications. The specific production techniques employed often depend on the desired properties and end-use of the final polymer product.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of ethylene polymers include ethylene, which is typically derived from the cracking of natural gas or petroleum, as well as various catalysts, additives, and processing equipment. The availability and cost of these raw materials and resources can significantly impact the production and trade of ethylene polymers.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of cpc code 34710 are various forms of ethylene polymers, such as polyethylene (PE), which can be further classified into low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). These polymers are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 35110 Manufacture of rubber and plastic products, 41000 Construction of buildings, and 45000 Wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles.
