About pyrotechnic articles

cpc code 3546 covers a wide range of pyrotechnic articles, which are explosive devices used for various purposes such as entertainment, signaling, and military applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing essential products for industries like aerospace, defense, and entertainment. Pyrotechnic articles are integral to many modern activities, from fireworks displays to emergency flares, making this a significant and specialized sector.

Production process

The production of pyrotechnic articles involves a complex and highly regulated process. Manufacturers must carefully blend and process various chemical compounds, including oxidizers, fuels, and binders, to create the desired pyrotechnic effects. Precise control of the mixing, pressing, and packaging stages is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of pyrotechnic articles include raw materials such as 2819 Inorganic chemical products, 2899 Other chemical products, and specialized machinery for mixing, pressing, and packaging the pyrotechnic compounds. Manufacturers must also comply with strict safety and environmental regulations, requiring specialized equipment and facilities to handle the hazardous materials involved.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the pyrotechnic articles industry (3546) are a wide range of products used for entertainment, signaling, and military purposes. These include fireworks, flares, smoke grenades, and other specialized pyrotechnic devices. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by 3812 Search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical system and instrument manufacturing, 3999 Miscellaneous manufacturing industries, and 9211 Justice, public order, and safety activities sectors.
