About felt; needleloom felt and stitch-bonded fibre fabrics, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated

HS code 560210 covers a diverse range of felt and stitch-bonded fiber fabrics, which are essential materials in various industries. These products find applications in areas such as apparel, home furnishings, industrial filtration, and construction, making them a crucial component of the global textile and manufacturing sectors. The versatility and durability of these materials contribute to their widespread use and economic significance.

Production process

The production of felt and stitch-bonded fiber fabrics under HS code 560210 typically involves a combination of mechanical and thermal processes. Needle-punching, a key technique, involves the entanglement of fibers through the repeated penetration of barbed needles, creating a cohesive and durable fabric. Stitch-bonding, on the other hand, utilizes a sewing process to interlock the fibers, resulting in a strong and stable material. These fabrics may also undergo additional treatments, such as impregnation, coating, or lamination, to enhance their properties and functionalities.

Production inputs

The primary raw materials required for the production of HS code 560210 products are various types of natural and synthetic fibers, including wool, polyester, nylon, and rayon. Specialized machinery, such as needle-punching machines and stitch-bonding equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, chemicals and binders may be used for impregnation, coating, or lamination, depending on the desired end-use characteristics of the fabric.

Production outputs

The diverse range of felt and stitch-bonded fiber fabrics covered under HS code 560210 find applications in a wide variety of industries. These materials are commonly used in the production of 650300 apparel, 940430 home furnishings, 842139 industrial filters, and 680800 construction materials.
