Textile fabrics; tyrecord of high tenacity yarn of viscose rayon

HS code 590290 covers a specialized type of textile fabric known as 'tyrecord', which is primarily used in the production of vehicle tires. This high-tenacity fabric plays a crucial role in the automotive industry, providing the necessary strength and durability to support the weight and performance requirements of modern tires. As a key component in the global supply chain for transportation, the 590290 industry is an integral part of the broader manufacturing and logistics sectors.

The production of 590290 tyrecord fabric involves the use of high-tenacity viscose rayon yarns. These yarns are woven or knitted into a dense, reinforced fabric using specialized machinery. The fabric undergoes various finishing processes, such as heat-setting and chemical treatments, to enhance its dimensional stability, tensile strength, and resistance to environmental factors like heat, moisture, and abrasion.

The primary raw material for the 590290 industry is viscose rayon, a regenerated cellulose fiber known for its high tensile strength and durability. Manufacturers also require access to specialized weaving or knitting equipment, as well as various chemicals and finishing agents to impart the desired properties to the final fabric. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the complex machinery and maintaining quality control throughout the production process.

The primary output of the 590290 industry is the tyrecord fabric, which is then consumed by the 401120 pneumatic tyres, new, of a kind used on motor cars and 401320 pneumatic tyres, new, of a kind used on buses or lorries industries. This fabric serves as a critical reinforcement material, helping to ensure the structural integrity and performance of vehicle tires. The 590290 industry also produces smaller quantities of fabrics for other industrial applications, such as 590900 textile fabrics; reinforced with metal, of a kind used for technical purposes.
