Wool, degreased or carbonized, not carded or combed

cpc code 26130 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 for the production of various wool-based fabrics and garments. The degreasing and carbonization processes help to remove impurities and prepare the wool for further processing, ensuring the quality and consistency of the final textile products.

The main production techniques involved in this industry include degreasing and carbonization. Degreasing involves the removal of natural oils and fats from the raw wool fibers, typically using solvents or detergents. Carbonization, on the other hand, is a process that removes any vegetable matter or other impurities from the wool through the application of sulfuric acid or other chemicals, followed by heat treatment.

The key inputs required for this industry include raw wool fibers, chemical solvents and reagents for degreasing and carbonization, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the processing and handling of the wool. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the various production processes and ensure the quality of the final product.

The primary output of this industry is degreased and carbonized wool fibers, which are then sold to 26140 Wool, carded or combed manufacturers or other textile producers for further processing into yarns, fabrics, and finished products. The degreased and carbonized wool fibers produced under cpc code 26130 are essential inputs for a wide range of wool-based textile products, including clothing, upholstery, and carpets.
