About non-refractory ceramic building bricks, flooring blocks, support or filler tiles, roofing tiles, chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners, architectural ornaments and other ceramic construction goods

cpc code 37350 covers a wide range of non-refractory ceramic construction materials, including building bricks, flooring tiles, roofing tiles, and architectural ornaments. These products play a crucial role in the construction industry, providing essential building materials for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. The production and trade of these ceramic goods are significant contributors to the global economy, supporting various downstream industries and enabling the development of modern built environments.

Production process

The production of cpc code 37350 goods typically involves a multi-step process. Raw materials such as clay, feldspar, and quartz are extracted and processed through crushing, grinding, and mixing. The resulting ceramic mixture is then shaped using techniques like extrusion, pressing, or molding, depending on the specific product. The shaped pieces undergo drying and high-temperature firing in kilns to achieve the desired strength, durability, and aesthetic properties. Finally, the finished products may undergo additional processing, such as glazing or surface treatment, before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 37350 goods include raw materials like clay, feldspar, and quartz, as well as energy sources for firing the kilns, such as natural gas or electricity. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, presses, and kilns, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, transportation, and logistics infrastructure play a crucial role in the supply chain of these ceramic construction materials.
