About noils of wool or of fine animal hair

cpc code 26140 covers the classification of noils, which are the short, coarse fibers that are separated from the longer, finer fibers during the wool or fine animal hair combing process. Noils are an important byproduct of the textile industry, as they are used in the production of various wool and animal hair-based products, such as carpets, felt, and insulation materials. The noils industry plays a crucial role in the broader textile supply chain, contributing to the efficient utilization of raw materials and the sustainability of the industry.

Production process

The production of noils involves the combing or carding of wool or fine animal hair fibers. During this process, the longer, finer fibers are separated from the shorter, coarser fibers, which are then collected as noils. The noils may undergo further processing, such as cleaning, sorting, and baling, before being sold to manufacturers who use them in the production of various textile and non-textile products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the noils industry are raw wool or fine animal hair, such as cashmere, mohair, or alpaca. These raw materials are sourced from farms, ranches, or other suppliers. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized combing or carding machinery to separate the noils from the longer fibers, as well as packaging and transportation equipment to handle and distribute the noils.

Production outputs

The primary output of the noils industry is the noils themselves, which are then used as inputs for the production of 26200 Wool, carded or combed, 26210 Yarn of wool or of fine animal hair, 26220 Woven fabrics of wool or of fine animal hair, and 26230 Carpets and other textile floor coverings, among other textile and non-textile products. Noils can also be used in the production of insulation materials and felt.
