Illustrative examples
- Biodiesel fuels not made in petroleum refineries and not blended with petroleum
- Carbon organic compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing
- Cyclic intermediates made from refined petroleum or natural gas (except aromatic petrochemicals)
- Enzyme proteins (i.e., basic synthetic chemicals) (except pharmaceutical use) manufacturing
- Fatty acids (e.g., margaric, oleic, stearic) manufacturing
- Gum and wood chemicals manufacturing
- Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing
- Plasticizers (i.e., basic synthetic chemical) manufacturing
- Silicone (except resins) manufacturing
- Synthetic sweeteners (i.e., sweetening agents) manufacturing
Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 32519 covers establishments manufacturing basic organic chemicals that are neither petrochemicals nor industrial gases nor synthetic dyes and pigments. The key distinction from NAICS 32511 is that 32519 includes organic compounds not derived from refined petroleum or liquid hydrocarbons through standard petrochemical processes, such as fatty acids, plasticizers, and enzyme proteins for non-pharmaceutical use. Unlike NAICS 32518, which covers inorganic chemicals, 32519 is limited to organic chemical production.
