Which code does this activity belong in?
Surface Active Agent Manufacturing covers establishments that produce bulk surface active agents like wetting agents and emulsifiers, or textile and leather finishing agents designed to reduce tension or accelerate drying. This code distinguishes itself from Soap and Other Detergent Manufacturing, which produces finished consumer products such as laundry detergents and dishwashing detergents. Surface active agents classified here are intermediate inputs rather than packaged end-use products for consumers.
