CPC v2.1 Code: 3792

About fabricated asbestos fibres; mixtures with a basis of asbestos or with a basis of asbestos and magnesium carbonate; articles of such mixtures, or of asbestos

cpc code 3792 covers the production and manufacturing of fabricated asbestos fibres, as well as mixtures containing asbestos or asbestos and magnesium carbonate. These materials have a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, making this industry an important contributor to the broader economy. Asbestos-based products are valued for their heat resistance, durability, and insulating properties, finding use in construction, automotive, and various other sectors.

Production process

The production of fabricated asbestos fibres and related mixtures typically involves several key steps. First, raw asbestos fibres are extracted and processed to remove impurities. The cleaned fibres are then combined with other materials, such as magnesium carbonate, to create the desired mixture. This mixture is then fabricated into the final products, which can take the form of sheets, tiles, or other shaped articles, using techniques like pressing, moulding, or extrusion.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry include raw asbestos fibres, which are the primary component, as well as magnesium carbonate and other binding agents. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as fibre processing units, mixing tanks, and moulding presses, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are required to power the manufacturing facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 3792 are fabricated asbestos fibres, asbestos-based mixtures, and articles made from these materials. These products are widely used in the construction industry, where they are incorporated into building materials like insulation, roofing, and flooring. They also find applications in the automotive sector, where they are used in brake pads and clutches. Other industries that may consume the outputs of this industry include 3699 Fabricated metal products, n.e.c. and 3699 Fabricated metal products, n.e.c..
