About other recording media, including matrices and masters for the production of disks
cpc code 4759 covers the production of a wide range of recording media, including matrices and masters used in the manufacturing of various types of disks. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader electronics and media sectors, providing the necessary components for the storage and distribution of digital content. The products within this classification are essential for the production of CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and other optical media, as well as various types of magnetic storage media.
Production process
The production of recording media under cpc code 4759 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as polycarbonate or other polymers, are molded or extruded into the desired shape and size. These blanks are then coated with a thin layer of reflective material, such as aluminum or gold, to enable the recording and playback of data. Finally, the discs or matrices are subjected to a process of stamping, cutting, or other finishing techniques to create the final product.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of recording media under cpc code 4759 include various types of polymers, such as polycarbonate, as well as metals and other materials for the reflective coatings. Specialized machinery, such as injection molding equipment, coating systems, and stamping presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in materials science, engineering, and precision manufacturing.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 4759 are matrices and masters used in the production of various types of disks, including 4761 CDs, 4762 DVDs, and 4763 Blu-ray discs. These recording media are then consumed by the 4764 Reproduction of recorded media industry, as well as other sectors that require the storage and distribution of digital content, such as the 5820 Software publishing and 5920 Sound recording and music publishing activities industries.
