Which code does this activity belong in?
Establishments in 325199 manufacture basic organic chemicals excluding several specialized categories handled elsewhere. Ethyl alcohol producers are classified in 325193 regardless of their chemical complexity. Manufacturers of cyclic crudes, cyclic intermediates, gum chemicals, and wood chemicals belong in 325194. The boundary of 325199 captures fatty acids, plasticizers, silicones, enzyme proteins for non-pharmaceutical use, and organo-inorganic compounds that do not fall into these excluded categories.
