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 similar articles. These materials are widely used in the construction industry, particularly for exterior cladding, roofing, and interior partitions. The cellulose fibre-cement industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing durable and cost-effective building materials that meet the growing demand for sustainable construction solutions.

Production process

The production of cellulose fibre-cement products typically involves a process of mixing cellulose fibers, cement, and water to create a slurry. This slurry is then formed into the desired shape, such as sheets or panels, and cured under controlled conditions to harden the material. The final products may undergo additional processing, such as cutting, shaping, or surface treatment, to meet specific design requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the cellulose fibre-cement industry include cellulose fibers, cement, and water. Cellulose fibers are often sourced from renewable plant-based materials, such as wood pulp or agricultural waste. The cement used is typically Portland cement or a similar hydraulic binder. Additionally, the industry may rely on specialized machinery and equipment for the mixing, forming, and curing of the fibre-cement products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the cellulose fibre-cement industry are sheets, panels, tiles, and other similar articles used in construction. These products are often consumed by the 460000 Construction industry, where they are used for exterior cladding, roofing, and interior partitions. The fibre-cement materials may also be used in other applications, such as 681191 Corrugated sheets or 681182 Fibre-cement articles, not containing asbestos.
