Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 32599 covers chemical product manufacturing not classified elsewhere in its parent group, including activated carbon, antifreeze, custom plastic resin compounding, electronic cigarette vapor refills, industrial salt, matches, and photographic chemicals. Printing ink manufacturing is separately classified in NAICS 32591, while explosives manufacturing is classified in NAICS 32592. The distinguishing factor is that NAICS 32599 captures all other chemical products and preparations that fall outside the excluded categories and the two specialized manufacturing industries.
