Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 150g/m2)

HS v2017 Code: 560314

About nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 150g/m2)

HS code 560314 covers a broad range of nonwoven fabrics made from man-made filaments, weighing more than 150g/m2. These materials are widely used across various industries, including automotive, construction, personal care, and filtration, due to their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. As a key component in many global supply chains, the production and trade of these nonwoven fabrics play a significant role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of nonwoven fabrics under HS code 560314 typically involves a combination of techniques, such as spunbonding, meltblowing, and needle-punching. In the spunbonding process, continuous filaments are extruded, drawn, and then deposited onto a conveyor belt to form a web. Meltblowing, on the other hand, uses high-velocity hot air to attenuate the molten polymer into fine fibers, which are then collected on a moving screen. Needle-punching, a mechanical bonding method, uses barbed needles to entangle the fibers, creating a cohesive nonwoven fabric.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nonwoven fabrics under HS code 560314 include man-made filaments, such as polyester, polypropylene, or nylon. Additionally, various chemical additives, such as binders, surfactants, and flame retardants, may be incorporated to enhance the fabric's properties. Specialized machinery, including extruders, spinnerets, and needle-punching equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The nonwoven fabrics produced under HS code 560314 have a wide range of applications, including 560311 Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing not more than 25g/m2, 560312 Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 25g/m2 but not more than 70g/m2, and 560313 Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 70g/m2 but not more than 150g/m2. These nonwoven fabrics are used in various industries, such as automotive (e.g., car interiors), construction (e.g., roofing and insulation), personal care (e.g., wipes and hygiene products), and filtration (e.g., air and water filters).
