Noils of wool or of fine animal hair

CPC v2.1 Code: 2614

About noils of wool or of fine animal hair

cpc code 2614 covers the production of noils, which are the short, coarse fibers that are a byproduct of the wool and fine animal hair combing process. Noils are an important raw material for various textile industries, as they are used in the manufacture of lower-quality yarns, felts, and other products. The global noils market is closely tied to the overall performance of the wool and fine animal hair industries, which play a significant role in the broader textile and apparel sectors.

Production process

The production of noils involves the combing of raw wool or fine animal hair to remove the longer, finer fibers that are used in higher-quality textiles. The remaining shorter, coarser fibers are known as noils and are collected for further processing. Noils may undergo additional cleaning, sorting, and blending processes before being sold to manufacturers in the textile, felt, and other industries.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of noils under cpc code 2614 are raw wool and fine animal hair, such as cashmere, mohair, and alpaca. Specialized combing machinery and equipment are also essential for the separation of the longer, finer fibers from the shorter noils. Energy, labor, and transportation services are additional key inputs required for the efficient operation of noils production facilities.

Production outputs

The main output of cpc code 2614 is noils, which are consumed by manufacturers in the 2651 Yarn of wool or of fine animal hair and 2652 Woven fabrics of wool or of fine animal hair industries, as well as in the production of 2653 Felt and other textile products. Noils may also be used in the manufacture of insulation materials and as a component in certain types of composite materials.
