Manufacture of abrasive products and non-metallic mineral products n.e.c.

NACE v2.1 Code: C23.9

About manufacture of abrasive products and non-metallic mineral products n.e.c.

NACE code 23.9 encompasses the manufacture of a diverse range of abrasive products and other non-metallic mineral products not classified elsewhere. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting various sectors of the economy, from construction and automotive to electronics and machinery. Its products are essential for shaping, polishing, and refining a wide array of materials, contributing to the development and maintenance of essential infrastructure, consumer goods, and industrial equipment.

Production process

The production techniques used in this industry vary depending on the specific product being manufactured. Abrasive products, such as sandpaper and grinding wheels, are typically made by bonding abrasive grains, such as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide, to a backing material. Non-metallic mineral products, on the other hand, may involve processes like crushing, grinding, and mixing raw materials, followed by shaping, molding, or extruding the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include various types of abrasive materials, such as natural and synthetic minerals, as well as binders, fillers, and other additives. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as grinding machines, polishing tools, and molding presses, to transform the raw materials into finished products.

Production outputs

The outputs of this industry include a wide range of products, such as 23.91 Manufacture of abrasive products, 23.99 Manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products n.e.c., and 25.73 Manufacture of tools. These products are then consumed by a diverse range of industries, including 16.21 Manufacture of veneer sheets and wood-based panels, 28.49 Manufacture of other machine tools, and 33.12 Repair of machinery, among others.
