About wool, degreased or carbonized, not carded or combed

cpc code 2613 covers the industry of wool processing, specifically the degreasing and carbonization of wool fibers before they are carded or combed. This industry plays a crucial role in the textile supply chain, providing a crucial intermediate product that is then used in the manufacture of a wide range of wool-based textiles and garments. As a key supplier to the broader textile industry, the wool degreasing and carbonization sector is an important component of the overall economy.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the wool degreasing and carbonization industry involve the removal of natural fats, waxes, and other impurities from raw wool fibers. This is typically achieved through a combination of chemical and mechanical processes. First, the wool is subjected to a degreasing treatment, often using solvents or detergents, to remove the lanolin and other natural oils. The wool is then carbonized, typically by exposure to sulfuric acid or other chemicals, which breaks down and removes any remaining organic matter or vegetable matter that may be present. Finally, the wool is washed and dried, leaving behind a clean, purified fiber that is ready for further processing, such as carding and combing.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the wool degreasing and carbonization industry are raw wool fibers, as well as the various chemicals and solvents used in the degreasing and carbonization processes. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as degreasing tanks, carbonization chambers, and drying facilities. The availability and quality of these raw materials and production assets are crucial to the industry's ability to meet the demands of its downstream customers.

Production outputs

The main output of the wool degreasing and carbonization industry is clean, purified wool fiber that has been stripped of its natural oils and impurities. This processed wool is then typically consumed by 2614 Wool, carded or combed and 2615 Yarn of wool or fine animal hair industries, which use it as a key input for the production of a wide range of wool-based textiles and garments.
