Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals

NACE v2.1 Code: C20.14

About manufacture of other organic basic chemicals

NACE code 20.14 covers the manufacture of a wide range of organic chemicals, which are essential building blocks for numerous industries. This sector plays a crucial role in the broader chemical industry, providing raw materials and intermediates that are further processed into a diverse array of products, from pharmaceuticals and plastics to agrochemicals and specialty chemicals. The manufacture of other organic basic chemicals is a capital-intensive industry that requires significant investments in research, development, and production facilities to maintain a competitive edge.

Production process

The production of other organic basic chemicals typically involves complex chemical processes, such as fermentation, distillation, and catalytic reactions. These processes are designed to extract, purify, and synthesize a variety of organic compounds from various feedstocks, including fossil fuels, biomass, and recycled materials. Advanced technologies, including continuous flow chemistry and biocatalysis, are increasingly being adopted to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance sustainability.

Production inputs

The manufacture of other organic basic chemicals requires a range of raw materials, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, and other organic compounds. Specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and centrifuges, is also essential for the various stages of production. Additionally, this industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in chemistry, engineering, and process optimization to ensure the efficient and safe operation of production facilities.

Production outputs

The organic basic chemicals produced under NACE code 20.14 serve as intermediates and feedstocks for a diverse range of downstream industries. These include the manufacture of 20.16 Manufacture of plastics in primary forms, 21.10 Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products, 20.20 Manufacture of pesticides and other agrochemical products, and 20.59 Manufacture of other chemical products n.e.c.. The wide-ranging applications of these organic chemicals highlight their importance in the broader chemical value chain and their contribution to the development of numerous consumer and industrial products.
