About baths, wash-basins, lavatory pans and covers, flushing cisterns and similar sanitary ware, of plastics

cpc code 36930 covers a wide range of plastic-based sanitary ware products, including baths, wash-basins, lavatory pans and covers, and flushing cisterns. These items are essential components of modern plumbing and bathroom infrastructure, catering to both residential and commercial needs. The production and trade of these products play a significant role in the broader 36 Manufacture of furniture; manufacture of other productsindustry, contributing to the overall construction and home improvement sectors.

Production process

The manufacturing of plastic sanitary ware typically involves injection molding or thermoforming processes. In injection molding, plastic pellets are melted and injected into a mold cavity, where the material cools and solidifies into the desired shape. Thermoforming, on the other hand, uses heat to soften a plastic sheet, which is then stretched over a mold and cooled to retain the shape. Both techniques allow for the efficient mass production of consistent, high-quality sanitary ware products.

Production inputs

The primary raw materials required for the production of plastic sanitary ware are various types of thermoplastic resins, such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). These resins are sourced from the 20 Manufacture of chemicals and chemical productsindustry. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires specialized molds, injection molding or thermoforming machines, and other supporting equipment and tools.

Production outputs

The main outputs of cpc code 36930 are plastic baths, wash-basins, lavatory pans and covers, flushing cisterns, and other similar sanitary ware products. These items are primarily consumed by the 43 Constructionindustry, where they are installed in residential, commercial, and public buildings.
