Wadding of textile materials and articles thereof; textile fibres not exceeding 5 mm in length (flock), textile dust and mill neps

CPC v2.1 Code: 27991

About wadding of textile materials and articles thereof; textile fibres not exceeding 5 mm in length (flock), textile dust and mill neps

cpc code 27991 covers a diverse range of textile materials and byproducts that serve as critical inputs for various industries. This segment encompasses the production and processing of wadding, short textile fibers (flock), and waste materials like textile dust and mill neps. These materials find applications in a wide array of products, from personal care items to industrial filters, making this industry an integral part of the broader textile supply chain.

Production process

The production of goods under cpc code 27991 typically involves mechanical processing of textile raw materials. Wadding is often created by carding, air-laying, or needle-punching fibers to form a cohesive, absorbent material. Flock, on the other hand, is produced by cutting or shredding longer textile fibers into short, uniform lengths. Textile dust and mill neps are byproducts generated during various textile manufacturing processes, which are then collected and processed for further utilization.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry include a diverse range of textile fibers, such as 26100 Cotton, 26200 Wool, 26300 Other animal hair, and 26400 Silk. Additionally, specialized machinery like carding machines, air-laying equipment, and shredders are essential for the efficient production of wadding, flock, and waste materials. Energy sources and water may also be required, depending on the specific manufacturing techniques employed.

Production outputs

The outputs of cpc code 27991 are primarily used as inputs for other industries. Wadding finds applications in personal care products, filtration systems, and insulation materials. Flock is utilized in the production of 27992 Felt, 27993 Nonwovens, and various textile-based composites. Textile dust and mill neps can be repurposed as raw materials for 27994 Recycled textile fibres, or used in the manufacture of low-grade products like insulation or packing materials.
