About articles of vulcanized rubber n.e.c.; hard rubber; articles of hard rubber

cpc code 3627 covers a diverse range of products made from vulcanized rubber and hard rubber. These materials are widely used in various industries, from automotive and construction to consumer goods and medical devices. The articles produced under this code play a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential components and solutions for a wide array of applications.

Production process

The production of articles under cpc code 3627 typically involves a multi-step process. First, raw rubber materials are subjected to vulcanization, a chemical process that enhances the material's strength, durability, and resistance to heat and chemicals. The vulcanized rubber is then molded, extruded, or otherwise shaped into the desired form, such as gaskets, seals, or other specialized components. For hard rubber products, the material undergoes additional processing, including compression or injection molding, to create the final articles.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of articles under cpc code 3627 include natural and synthetic rubber, various chemical additives for vulcanization and compounding, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for shaping and molding the rubber materials. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and ensuring quality control throughout the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The articles produced under cpc code 3627 are widely used in a variety of industries, including 3811 Motor vehicles, 3812 (Bodies (coachwork) for motor vehicles; trailers and semi-trailers), 3821 Rubber tires and tubes; retreading and rebuilding of rubber tires, and 3829 Other rubber products. These products are essential for providing seals, gaskets, and other critical components that ensure the proper functioning and safety of a wide range of products and systems.
