Refractory products and structural non-refractory clay products
CPC v2.1 Code: 373
About refractory products and structural non-refractory clay products
cpc code 373 covers the production of refractory products and structural non-refractory clay products. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, including construction, manufacturing, and energy production. They are essential for their heat-resistant and structural properties, making them indispensable in high-temperature applications and the construction of buildings, furnaces, and other infrastructure.
Production process
The production of refractory products and structural non-refractory clay products typically involves a series of steps. Raw materials, such as clay, silica, and other minerals, are extracted and processed through crushing, grinding, and mixing. The resulting mixture is then shaped into the desired form, either through molding, extrusion, or pressing. Finally, the products undergo a high-temperature firing process to achieve the necessary strength, durability, and heat resistance.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of refractory products and structural non-refractory clay products include raw materials such as 251 Clay and ceramic raw materials, 141 Stone, sand, and clay, and various mineral additives. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as kilns, presses, and molding machines, are essential for the manufacturing process.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of cpc code 373 are refractory bricks, tiles, and other heat-resistant products, as well as structural non-refractory clay products like bricks, blocks, and tiles used in construction. These outputs are often consumed by industries such as 372 Cement and lime, 371 Glass and glass products, and 374 Other non-metallic mineral products n.e.c..
