Does anybody know which section of NEC addresses the sizing of conductor for a chemical load (for example a vulcanizing unit) ?

Welcome to the forum!
If you please, what is a chemical load? Same for a vulcanizing unit? I have not heard of either.

To me, vulcanization refers to the process of heating natural rubber to harden it by promoting cross linkages between polymer chains. I believe the process is enhanced by the presence of free sulfur.
It would involve a controlled resistive heater.
To my mind, a chemical load, if such a thing exists, would be an electrolytic cell to produce aluminum from aluminum oxide. Or a battery charger, for that matter.
Volts are still volts and amps are still amps. Equipment specs should list kVA and/or kW.

From Wikipedia
Vulcanization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vulcanization (or vulcanisation) is a chemical process for converting natural rubber or related polymers into more durable materials via the addition of sulfur or other equivalent curatives or accelerators. These additives modify the polymer by forming cross-links (bridges) between individual polymer chains.

My guess is to use art. 440 or perhaps the nameplate.
