Other rubber products
CPC v2.1 Code: 362
About other rubber products
cpc code 362 covers the production of a wide range of rubber products, excluding tires and inner tubes. This industry plays a vital role in the broader manufacturing sector, providing essential components and materials for a diverse range of industries, from automotive and construction to healthcare and consumer goods. The versatility and durability of rubber make it a crucial raw material, contributing to the development of innovative products and solutions that drive economic growth.
Production process
The production of other rubber products typically involves a series of steps, including mixing, extruding, molding, and vulcanization. Manufacturers blend natural and synthetic rubber compounds with various additives, such as fillers, accelerators, and antioxidants, to achieve the desired properties. The mixed compounds are then shaped into the desired form through extrusion or injection molding, followed by the vulcanization process, which enhances the rubber's strength, elasticity, and resistance to heat and chemicals.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of other rubber products include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as a range of chemicals and additives. Manufacturers may also rely on specialized machinery, such as mixing equipment, extruders, and molding machines, to ensure efficient and consistent production. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are necessary to power the various stages of the manufacturing process.
Production outputs
The outputs of the other rubber products industry encompass a diverse array of items, including 363 Rubber belts and belting, 364 Rubber hoses and belting, 365 Rubber gaskets, packing, and sealing devices, and 366 Rubber mechanical goods. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 300 Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, 410 Construction, and 210 Manufacture of pharmaceuticals, medicinal chemical and botanical products.
