Monofilament of which any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm, rods, sticks and profile shapes, of plastics

cpc code 36310 covers the production of monofilament, rods, sticks, and profile shapes made from plastics where any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader plastics and polymer manufacturing sector, providing essential raw materials and semi-finished products for a wide range of downstream industries. The demand for these products is driven by their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness, making them indispensable in applications ranging from construction and automotive to consumer goods and industrial equipment.

The production of monofilament, rods, sticks, and profile shapes under cpc code 36310 typically involves extrusion, a process where molten plastic is forced through a die to create the desired shape. This process allows for precise control over the dimensions and cross-sectional profiles of the final products. Depending on the specific application, additional processing steps such as cutting, shaping, or surface treatment may be employed to enhance the product's characteristics.

The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 36310 items include various types of plastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride. These raw materials are sourced from the 36000 Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products industry. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized extrusion machinery, molds, and other equipment to ensure efficient and consistent production.

The primary outputs of cpc code 36310 are monofilament, rods, sticks, and profile shapes made from plastics. These products are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 36200 Manufacture of rubber and plastic products, 42000 Construction, and 29000 Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers. The versatility of these plastic products allows them to be used in applications such as construction materials, automotive components, and various consumer goods.
