Textile fabrics; tyrecord of high tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides

HS code 590210 covers textile fabrics made from high-tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides, commonly known as 'tyrecord'. These fabrics are primarily used in the production of vehicle tires, providing the necessary strength and durability to withstand the demands of modern transportation. As a critical component of the automotive industry, the 590210 textile fabrics play a vital role in the broader economy, supporting the manufacture of essential transportation infrastructure.

The production of 590210 textile fabrics involves the weaving or knitting of high-tenacity nylon or polyamide yarns. These yarns are typically produced through a process of extrusion, drawing, and heat-setting to achieve the desired level of strength and dimensional stability. The woven or knitted fabric is then subjected to various finishing processes, such as heat-setting, calendering, or coating, to enhance its performance characteristics and suitability for use in tire manufacturing.

The key inputs for the 590210 industry include high-tenacity nylon or polyamide fibers, as well as specialized machinery for yarn production, fabric weaving or knitting, and finishing processes. Additionally, the industry may rely on various chemical additives, such as dyes, coatings, or adhesives, to impart specific properties to the final textile product.

The primary output of the 590210 industry is the high-tenacity textile fabric, which is then consumed by the 401120 Pneumatic tyres, new, of rubber and 401150 Pneumatic tyres, new, of rubber - of a kind used on bicycles industries for the manufacture of vehicle tires. These fabrics may also find applications in other industrial textiles, such as conveyor belts or reinforced hoses.
