Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, not of man-made filaments, (weighing not more than 25g/m2)

HS v2017 Code: 560391

About nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, not of man-made filaments, (weighing not more than 25g/m2)

HS code 560391 covers a specific category of nonwoven fabrics that are widely used in various industries, including textiles, construction, and healthcare. These lightweight, versatile materials play a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential inputs for a range of products and applications.

Production process

The production of nonwovens under HS code 560391 typically involves a process known as web formation, where fibers are mechanically, thermally, or chemically bonded together to create a cohesive fabric. This can be achieved through methods such as needle-punching, thermal bonding, or chemical bonding, depending on the desired properties and end-use requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nonwovens under HS code 560391 include natural and synthetic fibers, such as cotton, polyester, or polypropylene. Additionally, manufacturers may utilize various chemicals, binders, and finishing agents to impart specific characteristics to the final product. Specialized machinery, such as web-forming equipment and bonding systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

Nonwovens produced under HS code 560391 find applications in a wide range of industries. They are commonly used in 560312 Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, weighing more than 25 g/m2 for filtration, insulation, and absorbent materials. These nonwovens may also be used in the production of 480300 Toilet or facial tissue stock, towel or napkin stock and similar paper of a kind used for household or sanitary purposes, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, whether or not creped, crinkled, embossed, perforated, surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or sheets, as well as in the manufacturing of personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical supplies.
