Rubberized textile fabrics, except tyre cord fabric

cpc code 36250 covers the production of rubberized textile fabrics, excluding those used for tyre cord. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader textile and rubber manufacturing sectors, providing essential materials for a wide range of applications, from clothing and upholstery to industrial products. Its importance extends across various industries, contributing to the overall strength and diversity of the economy.

The production of rubberized textile fabrics involves a multi-step process. First, the base textile material, such as cotton, polyester, or nylon, is woven or knitted into the desired fabric structure. The fabric is then coated or impregnated with a rubber compound, typically using techniques like dipping, spreading, or calendering. The rubber coating or impregnation process helps to enhance the fabric's durability, water resistance, and other desired properties, depending on the intended application.

The main inputs required for the production of rubberized textile fabrics include the base textile materials (e.g., 13000 Textile fibers, yarns and woven fabrics), rubber compounds (e.g., 20110 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms), and specialized machinery for the coating or impregnation process. Additionally, various chemicals and additives may be used to modify the properties of the final product.

The primary outputs of this industry are rubberized textile fabrics, which can be used in a variety of applications, such as 14100 Manufacture of wearing apparel, except fur apparel, 31000 Manufacture of furniture, and 28000 Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c.. These fabrics may also be consumed by other industries that require durable, water-resistant, or specialized textile materials, such as the automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors.
