Metallized yarn

CPC v2.1 Code: 27993

About metallized yarn

cpc code 27993 covers the production of metallized yarn, a specialized textile material that has a wide range of applications in the manufacturing and fashion industries. Metallized yarn is created by combining metal filaments or foils with natural or synthetic fibers, resulting in a material that exhibits unique properties such as enhanced strength, conductivity, and reflectivity. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting various downstream sectors, including 27991 Woven fabrics, 27992 Knitted fabrics, and 28000 Wearing apparel.

Production process

The production of metallized yarn typically involves a process known as metallization. This process involves coating or laminating a thin layer of metal, such as aluminum or copper, onto the surface of a textile fiber or filament. The metal coating can be applied using various techniques, including vapor deposition, electroplating, or mechanical bonding. The resulting metallized yarn is then woven, knitted, or otherwise incorporated into a variety of textile products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of metallized yarn include natural or synthetic textile fibers, such as cotton, polyester, or nylon, as well as the metal materials used for the coating process. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as metallization chambers, winding machines, and quality control systems, are essential for the efficient and consistent production of metallized yarn.

Production outputs

Metallized yarn is a versatile material that finds applications in a wide range of industries. It is commonly used in the production of 27991 Woven fabrics and 27992 Knitted fabrics, which are then used to manufacture a variety of products, including clothing, home textiles, and industrial textiles. Metallized yarn is also used in the production of 28000 Wearing apparel, where its unique properties can enhance the performance and aesthetics of the final garments.
