Articles of asphalt or of similar material

CPC v2.1 Code: 3793

About articles of asphalt or of similar material

cpc code 3793 covers a diverse range of products made from asphalt or similar bituminous materials. These materials are widely used in the construction and infrastructure industries, playing a crucial role in the development and maintenance of roads, highways, and other transportation networks. The articles produced under this code are essential for ensuring the durability, safety, and longevity of critical infrastructure, making this industry a vital component of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of articles under cpc code 3793 typically involves the processing and shaping of asphalt or similar bituminous materials. This may include melting, mixing, and pouring the materials into molds or applying them to various substrates. Depending on the specific product, additional techniques such as pressing, rolling, or extruding may be employed to achieve the desired shape and characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of articles under cpc code 3793 include raw asphalt or bituminous materials, which are often derived from the refining of crude oil. Additionally, various additives and fillers, such as aggregates, fibers, or modifiers, may be incorporated to enhance the properties of the final products. Specialized equipment, such as asphalt mixers, paving machines, and compaction rollers, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The articles produced under cpc code 3793 are primarily used in the construction and maintenance of roads, highways, and other transportation infrastructure. These products may include asphalt paving mixtures, roofing materials, sealants, and various types of asphalt-based coatings and membranes. The outputs from this industry are often consumed by 4213 Construction of highways, streets, and roads, 4214 Construction of railways and underground railways, and 4220 Construction of utility projects, among other related industries.
