About plastics; monofilament, of plastics n.e.c. in heading no. 3916, cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm, rods, sticks and profile shapes, whether or not surface-worked but not otherwise worked

HS code 391690 covers a wide range of plastic monofilaments, rods, sticks, and profile shapes that have a cross-sectional dimension exceeding 1mm. These products are used in a variety of industries, from construction and manufacturing to consumer goods and textiles. As a key component in many supply chains, the 391690 industry plays a vital role in the global economy, providing essential materials for a diverse range of applications.

Production process

The production of 391690 plastic products typically involves extrusion, a process where molten plastic is forced through a die to create the desired shape and size. This may be followed by additional surface treatments, such as polishing or coating, to enhance the product's appearance or performance. Manufacturers may also employ techniques like cutting, shaping, and joining to create more complex profiles and shapes to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 391690 industry include various types of plastic resins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery, including extruders, cutters, and finishing equipment, as well as energy sources and skilled labor to operate the production processes.

Production outputs

The 391690 industry produces a wide range of plastic monofilaments, rods, sticks, and profile shapes that are used in numerous downstream industries. These products may be further processed or incorporated into a variety of end-use applications, such as 392010 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, 392020 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, cellular, and 392030 Plastics; plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials.
