CPC v2.1 Code: 3633

About plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, not self-adhesive, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials

cpc code 3633 covers a diverse range of plastic products that are widely used across various industries. These materials are essential for manufacturing a multitude of items, from packaging and construction to automotive and electronics. Their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness make them a crucial component of the global economy, contributing to the production of a wide array of consumer and industrial goods.

Production process

The production of the plastic products described under cpc code 3633 typically involves a combination of extrusion, calendering, and lamination processes. Extrusion is used to create continuous sheets, films, and strips, while calendering is employed to produce thinner, more uniform materials. Lamination techniques are often utilized to combine these plastic layers with other materials, such as metals or textiles, to enhance their properties and functionality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 3633 items include various types of plastic resins, such as 3511 Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms, 3512 Polymers of propylene or of other olefins, in primary forms, and 3513 Polymers of styrene, in primary forms. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and lamination equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The plastic products covered under cpc code 3633 are widely used as inputs for a variety of other industries and applications. These materials can be found in 3634 Plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, self-adhesive, 3635 Plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, cellular, and 3636 Plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials. They are also utilized in the production of packaging, construction materials, automotive components, and various consumer goods.
