Tiles, flagstones, bricks and similar articles, of cement, concrete or artificial stone

cpc code 37540 covers a diverse range of construction materials, including tiles, flagstones, bricks, and other similar articles made from cement, concrete, or artificial stone. These products play a crucial role in the building and infrastructure sectors, providing essential components for a wide variety of construction projects. As a key part of the broader construction materials industry, this code represents a significant segment of the economy, contributing to the development of residential, commercial, and public facilities worldwide.

The production of the items covered under cpc code 37540 typically involves a combination of molding, pressing, and curing processes. Raw materials, such as cement, aggregates, and various additives, are mixed and then formed into the desired shapes using specialized machinery. The shaped products are then subjected to a curing process, which involves the controlled application of heat and moisture to enhance their strength and durability. Depending on the specific product, additional finishing steps, such as polishing or glazing, may be employed to achieve the desired aesthetic and functional properties.

The main inputs required for the production of the items covered under cpc code 37540 include cement, sand, gravel, and other aggregates. Specialized machinery, such as molding presses, kilns, and cutting/shaping equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, various additives, such as pigments, plasticizers, and water-repellent agents, may be used to enhance the properties of the final products.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 37540 are a wide range of construction materials, including tiles, flagstones, bricks, and other similar articles. These products are widely used in the construction of buildings, infrastructure, and other facilities, and are often consumed by industries covered under codes such as 37100 Prefabricated buildings, 37200 Structural metal products, and 37300 Structural concrete products.
