CPC v2.1 Code: 3473

About polymers of vinyl chloride or other halogenated olefins, in primary forms

cpc code 3473 covers the production of polymers of vinyl chloride or other halogenated olefins, which are a crucial class of thermoplastic materials. These polymers find widespread application in a diverse range of industries, from construction and packaging to automotive and medical devices. Their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness have made them an integral part of the global economy, contributing significantly to the manufacturing and trade of a wide array of products.

Production process

The primary production technique for polymers of vinyl chloride or other halogenated olefins involves a polymerization process. This process typically begins with the purification and preparation of the monomers, which are then subjected to controlled temperature and pressure conditions to facilitate the formation of long-chain polymer molecules. The resulting polymer resin is then further processed, often through extrusion or injection molding, to create the desired primary forms, such as pellets, sheets, or films.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of polymers of vinyl chloride or other halogenated olefins include the raw materials, such as vinyl chloride or other halogenated olefin monomers, as well as various additives and catalysts that are used to enhance the properties and performance of the final product. Additionally, specialized production equipment, such as polymerization reactors, extruders, and molding machines, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 3473 are the various forms of polymers of vinyl chloride or other halogenated olefins, including pellets, sheets, films, and other primary shapes. These polymers are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, such as 3811 Manufacture of plastic products, 2920 (Manufacture of bodies (coachwork) for motor vehicles; manufacture of trailers and semi-trailers), and 3250 Manufacture of medical and dental instruments and supplies.
