Industry Code : C2541
This industry comprises management units primarily engaged in the manufacture of explosives. These are deemed to be chemical compounds or mixtures that burn or decompose rapidly generating large amounts of gas, heat and pressure. The main product segment comprises various explosives (including primary explosives, secondary explosives and high explosive materials), followed by fireworks and matches. Industry participants may also be involved in the production of blasting accessories such as blasting and detonating caps, fuses and cords, detonators and safety fuses. Raw material inputs are sourced from other components of the overall chemical industry (namely the fertiliser and the industrial gas manufacturing industries). The finished product is then primarily sold to the various mining industries, as well as the construction industry. The industry is not concerned with the production of ammunition.
