Manufacture of mortars

NACE v2.1 Code: C23.64

About manufacture of mortars

NACE code 23.64 covers the manufacture of mortars, a crucial component in the construction industry. Mortars are a binding material used to hold bricks, stones, and other masonry units together, forming the foundation and structure of buildings. This industry plays a vital role in supporting the broader construction sector, which is a significant contributor to economic growth and development.

Production process

The manufacture of mortars typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as cement, lime, sand, and water, are carefully measured and mixed together. The mixture is then processed through specialized equipment, such as mixers and grinders, to ensure a consistent and homogeneous composition. Finally, the mortar is packaged and prepared for distribution to construction sites and other end-users.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the manufacture of mortars include cement, lime, sand, and water. Cement serves as the primary binding agent, while lime and sand act as aggregates. Additional additives, such as plasticizers or accelerators, may also be incorporated to modify the mortar's properties and performance. Specialized machinery, such as mixers, grinders, and packaging equipment, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the mortar manufacturing industry is, of course, mortar itself. This product is then consumed by the construction industry, particularly in the erection of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. Mortar is a key input for 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.11 Construction of roads and motorways, and 42.21 Construction of utility projects for fluids, among other NACE codes within the broader construction sector.
