Glass mirrors; multiple walled insulating units of glass
CPC v2.1 Code: 37116
About glass mirrors; multiple walled insulating units of glass
cpc code 37116 covers the production of glass mirrors and multiple-walled insulating glass units. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and home improvement sectors, providing essential materials for a wide range of applications. From decorative mirrors to energy-efficient windows, the products within this classification contribute significantly to the overall built environment and the broader economy.
Production process
The production of glass mirrors and insulating glass units typically involves several key steps. First, the raw glass is cut and shaped to the desired size and form. For mirrors, a reflective coating is then applied to the back of the glass, while for insulating units, multiple panes of glass are sealed together with a spacer material to create the insulating cavity. Advanced techniques such as tempering, laminating, and low-emissivity coatings may also be employed to enhance the performance and durability of the final products.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for this industry include high-quality float glass, reflective coatings, sealants, and specialized machinery for cutting, shaping, and assembling the glass components. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and ensuring the quality and safety of the final products.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of cpc code 37116 are glass mirrors and multiple-walled insulating glass units.
