About linoleum, whether or not cut to shape; floor coverings consisting of a coating or covering applied on a textile backing, whether or not cut to shape

HS code 5904 covers a diverse range of floor coverings, including linoleum and other textile-backed coatings.

As a key component of the broader floor coverings market, this industry contributes significantly to the global economy, meeting the growing demand for high-quality, functional, and aesthetically pleasing floor surfaces.

Production process

The production of linoleum and textile-backed floor coverings typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base material, which can be a woven or non-woven textile, is prepared and coated with a mixture of natural and synthetic materials, such as linseed oil, cork dust, and resins. This coating is then calendered or pressed to create a smooth, uniform surface. In the case of linoleum, the mixture may also include pigments to achieve the desired color and pattern. The finished product is then cut to the desired shape and size, ready for installation.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 5904 products include textile materials, such as jute, felt, or woven fabrics, as well as various natural and synthetic raw materials like linseed oil, cork dust, resins, and pigments. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as calendering machines and cutting equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and quality of these inputs play a crucial role in determining the overall performance and characteristics of the final floor coverings.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 5904 industry are linoleum and other textile-backed floor coverings.
