About woven fabrics (including narrow fabrics) of glass fibres

cpc code 2689 covers the production of woven fabrics made from glass fibers. These materials have a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, from reinforcing composites to providing thermal and acoustic insulation. As a key component in many manufacturing processes, the woven glass fiber industry plays a vital role in supporting various sectors of the economy, including construction, transportation, and renewable energy.

Production process

The production of woven fabrics from glass fibers typically involves several key steps. First, glass fibers are extruded and drawn into continuous filaments. These filaments are then twisted into yarns, which are woven into a fabric using specialized looms. The woven fabric may undergo additional processing, such as heat treatment or coating, to impart specific properties or characteristics required for its intended use.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the woven glass fiber industry include raw glass materials, such as silica sand, limestone, and other mineral additives, as well as energy sources for the extrusion and weaving processes. Specialized machinery, including fiber-drawing equipment and high-speed looms, are also essential for the production of these materials. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the equipment and ensure the quality of the final products.

Production outputs

Woven fabrics of glass fibers (cpc 2689) are primarily used as reinforcement materials in 2511 Plastic products, 2611 Glass and glass products, and 2811 Structural metal products. These fabrics can be incorporated into composite materials to enhance their strength, durability, and thermal properties. They are also used in the production of 2651 Instruments and appliances for measuring, testing and navigation, 2652 Watches and clocks, and 2653 Irradiation, electromedical and electrotherapeutic equipment.
