CPC v2.1 Code: 3480

About synthetic rubber and factice derived from oils, and mixtures thereof with natural rubber and similar natural gums, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

cpc code 3480 covers the production of synthetic rubber and factice, which are essential materials in the manufacturing of a wide range of products. Synthetic rubber, in particular, has become a crucial component in the automotive, construction, and consumer goods industries, providing superior performance and durability compared to natural rubber. This industry plays a vital role in the global economy, supporting the development of innovative products and technologies across multiple sectors.

Production process

The production of synthetic rubber and factice typically involves a series of chemical reactions and processes. The primary raw materials, such as petroleum-based feedstocks, are polymerized and processed to create the desired rubber compounds. This may include steps like emulsion polymerization, solution polymerization, or other specialized techniques, depending on the specific type of rubber being produced. The resulting rubber is then further refined, compounded, and shaped into primary forms, such as sheets, plates, or strips, ready for use in various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of synthetic rubber and factice under cpc code 3480 include petrochemical feedstocks, such as butadiene, styrene, and isoprene, as well as various additives and processing aids. Specialized machinery, such as polymerization reactors, extruders, and molding equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in chemical engineering, polymer science, and material processing.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 3480 are synthetic rubber and factice, which are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries. These materials are used in the production of 4010 Tyres and inner tubes, 4020 Retreaded and rebuilt tyres, 4030 Other rubber products, and 2220 Plastics in primary forms, among others. The versatility of synthetic rubber and factice allows for their integration into a diverse array of products, from automotive components to consumer goods, making this industry a crucial contributor to the global supply chain.
