About textile fabrics, gum or amylaceous substance coated, used for outer book covers and like; tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas; buckram and similar stiffened textile fabrics used for hat foundation

HS code 5901 covers a diverse range of textile fabrics that are coated with gum, amylaceous substances, or other materials. These fabrics are primarily used for specialized applications such as outer book covers, tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas, and stiffened textile materials for hat foundations. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting various downstream sectors, including publishing, art, and fashion, by providing essential materials for their products.

Production process

The production of the textile fabrics covered under HS code 5901 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base textile material, such as cotton, linen, or synthetic fibers, is woven or knitted into the desired fabric structure. The fabric is then coated or impregnated with a gum, amylaceous substance, or other stiffening agent, which provides the desired properties for the intended applications. This coating process may involve techniques like dipping, spraying, or roller application, depending on the specific requirements of the end product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 5901 textile fabrics include raw textile fibers (e.g., cotton, linen, synthetic), gum or amylaceous substances for coating, specialized machinery for weaving/knitting and coating, and various chemical additives to enhance the fabric's properties. Additionally, skilled labor and efficient production processes are crucial for ensuring the quality and consistency of these specialized textile materials.

Production outputs

The textile fabrics covered under HS code 5901 are primarily used as inputs for a range of downstream industries. These include the publishing industry, where they are used for outer book covers and bindings 4901 Printed books, brochures, leaflets and similar printed matter; the art and painting industry, where they are used as prepared painting canvas 5907 Textile fabrics otherwise impregnated, coated or covered; painted canvas being theatrical scenery, studio back-cloths or the like; and the fashion industry, where they are used for stiffened textile materials in hat foundations 6506 Headgear and parts thereof.
