HS v2017 Code: 580640
About fabrics; narrow woven, consisting of warp without weft, assembled by means of an adhesive (bolducs)
HS code 580640 covers a specialized category of narrow woven fabrics known as 'bolducs'. These fabrics are unique in that they consist solely of warp threads, without any weft or filling threads, and are held together by an adhesive. This construction method allows for the creation of intricate, lightweight, and highly versatile textile products that find applications across various industries, from apparel and home furnishings to industrial applications.
Production process
The production of bolducs involves a specialized weaving process where the warp threads are assembled and bonded together using an adhesive, rather than being interwoven with weft threads. This process allows for the creation of narrow, ribbon-like fabrics with a range of decorative patterns and textures. The adhesive used can vary, but common options include synthetic polymers or natural gums, which provide the necessary cohesion and stability to the fabric structure.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the production of HS code 580640 fabrics are high-quality warp yarns, which can be made from natural fibers such as cotton, wool, or silk, as well as synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon. Specialized weaving machinery, capable of producing narrow, adhesive-bonded fabrics, is also a crucial input. Additionally, the adhesive used to bind the warp threads together is an essential component in the manufacturing process.
Production outputs
Bolducs produced under HS code 580640 find a wide range of applications, including 6307 Other made-up textile articles, 5806 Narrow woven fabrics, and 5808 Braids in the piece; ornamental trimmings in the piece, without embroidery, other than knitted or crocheted. These fabrics can be used in the production of apparel, home textiles, industrial textiles, and various other products that require lightweight, durable, and visually appealing narrow woven materials.
