About ceramic wares; for laboratory, chemical or other technical uses, of porcelain or china

HS code 690911 covers a specialized segment of the ceramic industry, focusing on the production of porcelain or china-based wares for laboratory, chemical, and other technical applications. These highly specialized ceramic products play a crucial role in various scientific and industrial sectors, contributing to advancements in research, development, and manufacturing processes across the global economy.

Production process

The production of ceramic wares under HS code 690911 typically involves a multi-step process. It begins with the careful selection and preparation of raw materials, including high-purity clay, feldspar, and other mineral additives. These components are then meticulously mixed, milled, and refined to achieve the desired consistency and purity. The mixture is then shaped using techniques such as slip casting, jiggering, or pressing, depending on the specific product requirements. Finally, the shaped pieces undergo a series of drying, firing, and finishing steps to ensure the desired properties, such as high heat resistance, chemical inertness, and dimensional stability.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of ceramic wares under HS code 690911 include high-quality clay, feldspar, and other mineral additives. Specialized equipment, such as milling machines, casting molds, and high-temperature kilns, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor with expertise in ceramic engineering and production techniques is a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The ceramic wares produced under HS code 690911 are primarily used in laboratory, chemical, and other technical applications. These products may include beakers, crucibles, test tubes, and other specialized equipment used in scientific research, quality control, and industrial processes. The outputs of this industry may also be consumed by 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases and 841940 Distilling or rectifying plant, as these ceramic components can be integral parts of various industrial equipment and systems.
