Yarn (other than sewing thread) of synthetic staple fibres, containing 85% or more by weight of such fibres

cpc code 26430 covers the production of yarn made from synthetic staple fibers, where the synthetic fibers make up at least 85% of the total weight. This industry plays a crucial role in the textile and apparel supply chain, providing a versatile and durable raw material for the manufacturing of a wide range of fabric products. The demand for these synthetic yarns is driven by their favorable properties, such as strength, durability, and ease of care, making them a popular choice in both the domestic and international markets.

The production of synthetic staple fiber yarn typically involves several key steps. First, the synthetic fibers, such as polyester or nylon, are extruded and cut into short lengths to create the staple fibers. These fibers are then cleaned, blended, and carded to align them in a parallel orientation. The carded fibers are then drawn and twisted to form the continuous yarn, which can be further processed through winding, dyeing, or other finishing operations to meet specific customer requirements.

The main inputs required for the production of synthetic staple fiber yarn include the synthetic fibers themselves, which are typically derived from petrochemical feedstocks. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as extruders, carding machines, and spinning frames, as well as various chemicals and dyes used in the finishing processes. The availability and cost of these raw materials and equipment can significantly impact the overall competitiveness of this industry.

The primary output of cpc code 26430 is yarn made from synthetic staple fibers, containing at least 85% of such fibers by weight. This yarn can be used in the production of a wide range of textile products, including 26510 Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, 26520 Knitted or crocheted fabrics of synthetic staple fibres, and 26590 Other fabrics of synthetic staple fibres. The synthetic yarn produced under this code is also an important input for the 26600 Manufacture of articles of apparel and clothing accessories industry.
