Synthetic monofilament and strip

CPC v2.1 Code: 3553

About synthetic monofilament and strip

cpc code 3553 covers the production of synthetic monofilament and strip, which are essential materials used in a wide range of industries. These materials find applications in textiles, fishing nets, industrial fabrics, and even in the production of 3949 Plastics products, n.e.c.. The synthetic monofilament and strip industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader manufacturing and industrial sectors, contributing to the overall economic growth and development.

Production process

The production of synthetic monofilament and strip typically involves extrusion processes. Raw materials, such as synthetic polymers, are melted and forced through a die to create continuous filaments or strips. These filaments or strips are then cooled, stretched, and sometimes further processed to impart specific properties, such as increased strength or flexibility.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of synthetic monofilament and strip include synthetic polymers, such as polyester, nylon, or polypropylene. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, spinnerets, and drawing equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the synthetic monofilament and strip industry are the monofilaments and strips themselves, which are then used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These materials may be further processed or incorporated into products such as 2231 Broad woven fabric mills, 3131 Leather tanning and finishing, or 3142 Curtains and draperies. The synthetic monofilament and strip industry also supports the production of 3949 Plastics products, n.e.c. and other related industries.
