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 36330 covers a diverse range of plastic products that are widely used across various industries. These materials are essential for manufacturing a wide array of items, from packaging and construction materials to automotive components and consumer goods. The global demand for these plastic products continues to grow, driven by factors such as urbanization, rising living standards, and the need for lightweight, durable, and cost-effective materials.

The production of the plastic products covered under cpc code 36330 typically involves a range of techniques, including extrusion, calendering, and lamination. Extrusion is a common process where molten plastic is forced through a die to create sheets, films, or strips with a specific cross-sectional shape. Calendering involves passing the plastic material between a series of heated rollers to create thin, uniform sheets or films. Lamination is often used to combine multiple layers of plastic or other materials to create composite products with enhanced properties.

The main inputs required for the production of the plastic products under cpc code 36330 include various types of plastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These raw materials are typically sourced from petrochemical refineries or recycled plastic waste. In addition to the plastic resins, the industry also relies on specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and lamination equipment, as well as energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, to power the production processes.

The plastic products covered under cpc code 36330 are used in a wide range of applications, including 36340 Plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, self-adhesive, 36350 Plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, cellular, and 36360 Plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials. These materials are often used in packaging, construction, automotive, and consumer goods industries, among others, due to their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
