About sanitary ware; baths, shower-baths, sinks, wash-basins, bidets, lavatory pans, seats and covers, flushing cisterns and sanitary ware, of plastics

HS code 3922 covers a wide range of plastic sanitary ware products, including baths, shower-baths, sinks, wash-basins, bidets, lavatory pans, seats and covers, and flushing cisterns. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and renovation of residential and commercial buildings, as well as the manufacturing of various household and commercial products. The demand for these products is driven by factors such as population growth, urbanization, and the need for modern, hygienic sanitary solutions.

Production process

The production of plastic sanitary ware typically involves a combination of injection molding, blow molding, and thermoforming techniques. Injection molding is used to create complex shapes and intricate designs, while blow molding is employed for larger, hollow items like bathtubs. Thermoforming is often used for the production of flat or slightly curved components, such as shower trays and wash-basins. These manufacturing processes are complemented by finishing operations, including trimming, polishing, and the application of coatings or decorative elements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of plastic sanitary ware include various types of thermoplastic resins, such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These raw materials are sourced from the petrochemical industry. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, including injection molding machines, blow molding equipment, and thermoforming presses. Other important inputs include molds, dies, and various additives to enhance the properties of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the plastic sanitary ware industry are the various products covered under HS code 3922, including 3922 Sanitary ware; baths, shower-baths, sinks, wash-basins, bidets, lavatory pans, seats and covers, flushing cisterns and sanitary ware, of plastics. These products are then consumed by the construction industry, as well as the manufacturing of household and commercial appliances. Other industries that may utilize the outputs of this sector include 3925 Builders' ware of plastics, not elsewhere specified or included and 3926 Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914.
