Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing

Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing alkalies and chlorine. Sample business functions include alkalies not produced at mines, caustic potash, caustic soda, compressed or liquefied chlorine, potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, sal soda (washing soda), soda ash not produced at mines, sodium bicarbonate not produced at mines, and sodium carbonate (soda ash) not produced at mines.

Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing industrial gases (including organic) for sale in compressed, liquid, and solid forms. Sample business functions include acetylene, argon, carbon dioxide, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), compressed, liquefied, or solid industrial gases, helium, hydrogen, neon, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide.

Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing inorganic pigments. Important products of this industry include black pigments except carbon black, white pigments, and color pigments. Sample business functions include animal black (precipitated), barium sulfate (blanc fixe), barytes pigments, black pigments except carbon black, bone black, chrome pigments such as chrome green, chrome yellow, and chrome orange, inorganic color pigments, ferric oxide pigments, and iron blue pigments.

Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing industrial inorganic chemicals not elsewhere classified. Sample business functions include activated carbon and charcoal, alkali metals, alumina, aluminum chloride, aluminum compounds, aluminum hydroxide (alumina trihydrate), aluminum oxide, aluminum sulfate, alums, and ammonia alum.
