Practical summary

Class 2013 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing > 20 Manufacture of Chemicals and Chemical Products > 201 Manufacture of basic chemicals. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Manufacture of Synthetic Rubber and Factice Derived from Oils, in Primary Forms, Production of Mixtures of Synthetic Rubber and Natural Rubber or Rubber-like Gums (e.g., Balata), in Primary Forms, and Manufacture of Plastic Synthetic Resins. It is the level people use when they already know the activity family but still need the exact five-digit match.
