Manufacture of plastic plates, sheets, tubes and profiles
NACE v2.0 Code: C22.21
About manufacture of plastic plates, sheets, tubes and profiles
NACE code 22.21 covers the manufacture of a wide range of plastic products, including plates, sheets, tubes, and profiles. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader plastics and rubber manufacturing sector, providing essential materials and components for a diverse range of industries, from construction and packaging to automotive and consumer goods. The products generated by this industry are fundamental building blocks that enable the development and production of countless everyday items that we rely on.
Production process
The primary production techniques used in the manufacture of plastic plates, sheets, tubes, and profiles involve various plastic processing methods, such as extrusion, injection molding, and thermoforming. Extrusion is a common method, where molten plastic is forced through a die to create the desired shape and profile. Injection molding is also widely used, where plastic is injected into a mold cavity and then cooled to form the final product. Thermoforming, on the other hand, involves heating plastic sheets and then forming them over a mold to create the desired shape.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the manufacture of plastic plates, sheets, tubes, and profiles include a variety of plastic resins, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polystyrene (PS). These raw materials are typically sourced from the petrochemical industry 20.16 Manufacture of plastics in primary forms. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, including extruders, injection molding machines, and thermoforming equipment, as well as various auxiliary components and tools.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of NACE code 22.21 are the plastic plates, sheets, tubes, and profiles themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of other industries. These products are used in the manufacture of 22.23 Manufacture of builders' ware of plastic, 22.29 Manufacture of other plastic products, 25.21 Manufacture of central heating radiators and boilers, and 29.32 Manufacture of other parts and accessories for motor vehicles, among others. The versatility of these plastic products allows them to be integrated into a diverse array of applications, contributing to the overall growth and development of the economy.
