Manufacture of rubber and plastic products
NACE v2.1 Code: C22
About manufacture of rubber and plastic products
NACE code 22 covers the manufacture of a wide range of rubber and plastic products, which are essential components in countless industries. This sector plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing materials and components that enable the production of everything from consumer goods to industrial machinery. The manufacture of rubber and plastic products is a dynamic and innovative industry, constantly adapting to meet the evolving needs of its diverse customer base.
Production process
The production of rubber and plastic products typically involves a range of techniques, including extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and compression molding. These processes allow manufacturers to shape and form the raw materials, such as natural and synthetic rubbers, thermoplastics, and thermosets, into a vast array of finished products. Advanced automation and computer-controlled equipment are often employed to ensure consistent quality and efficiency in the manufacturing process.
Production inputs
The manufacture of rubber and plastic products relies on a variety of raw materials, including natural and synthetic rubber, thermoplastic and thermoset resins, as well as various additives and reinforcing agents. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, injection molding machines, and compression presses, are also essential inputs for this industry. Additionally, the sector requires a skilled workforce capable of operating and maintaining the complex production equipment.
Production outputs
The outputs of NACE code 22 are diverse, ranging from consumer products like tires, hoses, and household items to industrial components used in 25 Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment, 28 Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c., and 29 Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers. The rubber and plastic products manufactured under this code are crucial inputs for a wide range of downstream industries, contributing to the overall productivity and competitiveness of the economy.
