About cellulose fibre-cement; articles or the like, sheets, panels, tiles and similar articles (other than corrugated sheets), not containing asbestos

HS code 681182 covers a range of cellulose fibre-cement products, including sheets, panels, tiles, and other articles. These materials are widely used in the construction industry as a durable and versatile building material, particularly in areas where asbestos-containing products are prohibited. The cellulose fibre-cement industry plays a crucial role in supporting the global construction sector and enabling the development of sustainable, asbestos-free infrastructure.

Production process

The production of cellulose fibre-cement products typically involves a process of mixing cellulose fibers, cement, and other additives to create a composite material. This mixture is then formed into the desired shape, such as sheets or panels, and cured to achieve the necessary strength and durability. Advanced manufacturing techniques, including automated molding and pressing, may be employed to ensure consistent quality and efficiency in the production process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the cellulose fibre-cement industry include cellulose fibers, cement, and various additives such as fillers, reinforcing agents, and water-repellent compounds. Specialized machinery, such as mixing equipment, molding presses, and curing ovens, are also essential for the manufacturing process. The industry relies on a steady supply of these raw materials and equipment to meet the growing demand for its products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the cellulose fibre-cement industry are sheets, panels, tiles, and other construction materials that can be used in a wide range of applications, including roofing, siding, and interior partitions. These products are often consumed by the 460100 Construction industry, as they provide a durable and sustainable alternative to traditional building materials. Additionally, the cellulose fibre-cement industry may supply its outputs to manufacturers of 681181 Corrugated sheets, who incorporate these materials into their own products.
