Synthetic staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning

cpc code 26210 covers the production of synthetic staple fibres, which are an essential component in the textile and apparel industries. These fibres are created from synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, and undergo various processing steps to prepare them for spinning into yarns and fabrics. The synthetic staple fibre industry plays a crucial role in meeting the global demand for textile products, offering a versatile and cost-effective alternative to natural fibres.

The production of synthetic staple fibres under cpc code 26210 typically involves several key steps. First, the synthetic polymers are extruded into continuous filaments, which are then cut into short, uniform lengths to create the staple fibres. These fibres are then carded, a process that aligns and cleans the fibres, and may be further combed to remove any remaining impurities and improve the fibre's uniformity. Finally, the processed fibres are ready to be spun into yarns, which can then be woven or knitted into a wide range of textile products.

The main inputs required for the production of synthetic staple fibres under cpc code 26210 include the synthetic polymers, such as polyester or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for extrusion, cutting, carding, and combing. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production equipment, and water may be required for certain processing steps. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce to operate the machinery and ensure the quality of the final product.

The primary output of the industry covered by cpc code 26210 is synthetic staple fibres, which are then used as raw materials by other industries, such as 26220 Synthetic filament yarn, including synthetic monofilament, 26230 Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, and 13100 Textile yarn and thread. These synthetic fibres are widely used in the production of a variety of textile products, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial applications.
