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

cpc code 26440 covers the production of yarn from synthetic staple fibers, where the synthetic fibers make up less than 85% of the total weight. This industry plays a crucial role in the textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of fabrics and garments. The demand for these synthetic yarns is driven by their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness, making them a popular choice for both commercial and consumer applications.

The production of yarn under cpc code 26440 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the synthetic staple fibers are processed through a series of machines that clean, card, and draw the fibers to create a continuous web or sliver. The sliver is then fed into a spinning machine, where it is twisted and drawn to create the final yarn. Depending on the desired characteristics of the yarn, additional processing steps such as plying, texturizing, or dyeing may be performed.

The main inputs required for the production of yarn under cpc code 26440 include synthetic staple fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. These raw materials are typically sourced from 20100 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as spinning frames, winding machines, and dyeing equipment, as well as energy sources and skilled labor.

The primary output of this industry is yarn, which is then consumed by 13100 Preparation and spinning of textile fibres, 13200 Weaving of textiles, and 14100 Manufacture of wearing apparel, except fur apparel to produce a wide range of textile products, including fabrics, clothing, and home furnishings. The specific characteristics of the yarn, such as fiber content, twist, and thickness, determine its suitability for different end-use applications.
