CPC v2.1 Code: 4834

About photographic plates and film and instant print film, sensitized, unexposed; chemical products for photographic uses, except varnishes, adhesives and the like

cpc code 4834 encompasses a diverse range of photographic materials and chemicals essential for the imaging industry. This code covers sensitized, unexposed photographic plates, film, and instant print film, as well as a variety of chemical products used in photographic processes. These materials and chemicals play a crucial role in the creation and development of visual media, from traditional photography to modern digital imaging technologies. The products described under this code are fundamental inputs for a wide range of industries, including media, advertising, and the arts, making this a significant and interconnected segment of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the materials and chemicals covered under cpc code 4834 typically involves a multi-step process. Photographic plates and film are manufactured by coating a base material, such as glass or plastic, with light-sensitive emulsions. These emulsions are carefully formulated to respond to specific wavelengths of light, allowing for the capture and recording of images. Chemical products for photographic uses, such as developers, fixers, and toners, are produced through a combination of mixing, blending, and purification techniques to ensure consistent quality and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the goods described under cpc code 4834 include a variety of raw materials, such as silver halides, gelatin, and other photographic chemicals. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as coating machines, drying ovens, and mixing tanks, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in photochemistry, materials science, and precision manufacturing.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industries covered under cpc code 4834 are photographic plates, film, and instant print film, as well as a range of chemical products used in photographic processes. These materials and chemicals are consumed by a wide variety of industries, including 3812 Motion picture and video production, 3821 Radio and television broadcasting, 3822 Advertising, and 8510 Education, among others. The products described under this code are fundamental inputs for the creation and development of visual media, from traditional photography to modern digital imaging technologies.
