Felt; impregnated, coated, covered or laminated (excluding needleloom felt and stitch-bonded fibre fabrics)

HS v2017 Code: 560290

About felt; impregnated, coated, covered or laminated (excluding needleloom felt and stitch-bonded fibre fabrics)

HS code 560290 covers a diverse range of felt products that have been impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated. These materials are widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, and textiles, due to their unique properties such as durability, insulation, and filtration capabilities. As a key component in many manufacturing processes, the felt industry plays a vital role in the global economy, contributing to the production of a wide array of consumer and industrial goods.

Production process

The production of felt products under HS code 560290 typically involves a combination of mechanical and chemical processes. The base felt material is first created through a process of matting, condensing, and strengthening natural or synthetic fibers. This felt is then subjected to various treatments, such as impregnation with resins or polymers, coating with protective layers, or lamination with other materials, to enhance its properties and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 560290 felt products include raw materials such as natural fibers (e.g., wool, cotton, or cellulose) or synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester, nylon, or polypropylene). Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery for the felting, impregnation, coating, and lamination processes, as well as various chemical additives and binders to achieve the desired properties and performance of the final products.

Production outputs

The felt products covered under HS code 560290 are used in a wide range of applications, including 560221 Felt, needleloom for industrial filtration, 560229 Felt, not needleloom for thermal and acoustic insulation, and 560312 Nonwovens, coated or laminated for protective clothing and upholstery. These felt materials are often consumed by industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and textiles, making them an essential component in the production of a diverse array of goods.
