CPC v2.1 Code: 3737

About ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; ceramic mosaic cubes and the like

cpc code 3737 covers the production of ceramic flags, paving, hearth, and wall tiles, as well as ceramic mosaic cubes and similar products. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and home improvement sectors, providing essential materials for a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications. As a key component of the broader ceramics industry, cpc 3737 contributes significantly to the overall economy, supporting various downstream industries and meeting the growing demand for high-quality, durable, and aesthetically pleasing building materials.

Production process

The production of ceramic flags, tiles, and mosaic cubes typically involves a series of well-established techniques. The process often begins with the preparation of raw materials, such as clay, feldspar, and silica, which are carefully selected and blended to achieve the desired properties. These materials are then formed into the desired shapes, either through pressing, extrusion, or casting, and undergo a drying process to remove excess moisture. The shaped pieces are then fired in high-temperature kilns, which fuse the materials and give the final products their characteristic hardness and durability. Depending on the specific application, the tiles or mosaic cubes may undergo additional finishing processes, such as glazing or polishing, to enhance their appearance and performance.

Production inputs

The production of cpc 3737 items requires a range of inputs, including raw materials, machinery, and energy sources. The primary raw materials are various types of clay, feldspar, and silica, which are sourced from specialized mining and processing operations. Specialized equipment, such as presses, extruders, and kilns, is essential for shaping, drying, and firing the ceramic products. Additionally, the industry relies on a steady supply of energy, typically in the form of natural gas or electricity, to power the high-temperature firing process.

Production outputs

The main outputs of cpc 3737 are ceramic flags, paving, hearth, and wall tiles, as well as ceramic mosaic cubes and similar products. These materials are widely used in the construction and home improvement sectors, finding applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The outputs of cpc 3737 are often consumed by industries such as 4511 Construction of buildings, 4520 Civil engineering, and 4330 Building completion and finishing, where they are used for flooring, wall coverings, and decorative elements.
