Which code does this activity belong in?
Synthetic dye and pigment manufacturers produce colorants designed for application in textiles, coatings, plastics, and other industrial products. The boundary distinguishes these finished colorant products from basic organic and inorganic chemicals used as inputs in their manufacture. Producers of intermediate chemical building blocks such as fatty acids, plasticizers, or cyclic intermediates are classified in Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing, even when those intermediates may eventually be converted into dyes or pigments by downstream processors.
