Powders and flakes of aluminium

CPC v2.1 Code: 41531

About powders and flakes of aluminium

cpc code 41531 covers the production and trade of powders and flakes of aluminium, a critical raw material used in a wide range of industries. Aluminium is one of the most widely used metals globally, with applications ranging from construction and transportation to electronics and packaging. The powders and flakes produced under this code are essential inputs for various manufacturing processes, contributing to the overall efficiency and competitiveness of the economy.

Production process

Powders and flakes of aluminium are typically produced through mechanical processes, such as milling, grinding, or atomization. In the milling process, solid aluminium is broken down into fine particles through the use of high-speed rotating blades or balls. Alternatively, the atomization method involves melting aluminium and then forcing it through small orifices, creating a spray of fine droplets that solidify into powder or flake form.

Production inputs

The production of powders and flakes of aluminium requires several key inputs, including raw aluminium metal, specialized milling or atomization equipment, and energy sources to power the manufacturing processes. Additionally, the industry may rely on various chemicals, such as lubricants or processing aids, to optimize the production and quality of the final products.

Production outputs

The powders and flakes of aluminium produced under cpc code 41531 are widely used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These include the 41532 Aluminium powders and flakes for use in paints, enamels, and other products industry, the 41533 Aluminium powders and flakes for use in fireworks and explosives industry, and the 41534 Aluminium powders and flakes for use in other products industry, among others.
