CPC v2.1 Code: 3639

About other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics

cpc code 3639 covers a diverse range of plastic products that are widely used across various industries. These plastic items, including plates, sheets, film, foil, and strips, serve as essential materials for manufacturing, packaging, and construction applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing cost-effective and versatile solutions to meet the growing demand for plastic-based products.

Production process

The production of the items covered under cpc code 3639 typically involves a range of techniques, such as extrusion, calendering, and thermoforming. Extrusion is a common process where molten plastic is forced through a die to create continuous sheets or films. Calendering involves passing the plastic material between a series of heated rollers to produce thin, uniform sheets. Thermoforming is another technique where a plastic sheet is heated and then pressed into a mold to create the desired shape.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of items under cpc code 3639 include various types of plastic resins, such as 3511 Polyethylene, 3512 Polypropylene, and 3513 Polystyrene. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and thermoforming equipment, as well as energy sources and skilled labor to operate these production processes.

Production outputs

The items produced under cpc code 3639 are widely used as intermediate inputs for a range of downstream industries. These plastic plates, sheets, films, foils, and strips are commonly utilized in the manufacturing of 3640 Plastic products, 2520 Rubber and plastics products, and 4520 Construction. The versatility of these plastic products makes them essential components in various applications, from packaging and construction to automotive and electronics industries.
