About woven fabrics (including narrow fabrics) of glass fibres

cpc code 26890 covers the production of woven fabrics made from glass fibers. These materials are widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, transportation, and electronics, due to their unique properties such as high strength, durability, and resistance to heat and chemicals. As a key component in many composite materials, the glass fiber fabric industry plays a vital role in the broader manufacturing and engineering sectors.

Production process

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

Production inputs

The main inputs for the glass fiber fabric industry include raw glass materials, such as silica, alumina, and other mineral compounds, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for fiber extrusion, yarn production, and fabric weaving. Additionally, the industry may utilize various chemical additives or coatings to enhance the performance of the final fabric product.

Production outputs

The primary output of the glass fiber fabric industry is, of course, the woven fabrics themselves. These materials are widely used in a range of applications, including 26910 Manufacture of other technical and industrial textiles, 22230 Manufacture of builders' ware of plastic, and 29320 (Manufacture of bodies (coachwork) for motor vehicles; manufacture of trailers and semi-trailers). The versatility of glass fiber fabrics makes them an essential component in many industries, contributing to the broader economic landscape.
