About abrasive powder or grain; natural or artificial, on a base of woven textile fabric only, whether or not cut to shape or sewn or otherwise made up

HS code 680510 covers abrasive powder or grain, both natural and artificial, that is applied to a base of woven textile fabric. This industry plays a crucial role in the manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential materials for polishing, grinding, and finishing a wide range of products. The global abrasives market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics.

Production process

The production of abrasive powder or grain on a textile fabric base typically involves several key steps. First, the abrasive material, such as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide, is crushed and graded to the desired particle size. The woven textile fabric is then coated with an adhesive, and the abrasive particles are applied and bonded to the surface. Finally, the coated fabric may be cut to shape or sewn into specific forms, depending on the intended application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include the abrasive raw materials, such as 281113 silicon carbide and 281120 aluminum oxide, as well as the woven textile fabric base. Specialized machinery for crushing, grading, and applying the abrasive particles to the fabric is also a crucial input. Additionally, adhesives and other chemicals may be used in the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the abrasive-coated textile fabric, which is then used in a variety of applications. These include sandpaper, grinding wheels, polishing pads, and other abrasive products. The output of HS code 680510 may be consumed by industries such as 820722 Tools for drilling, other than rock drilling and 842240 Machinery for cleaning, sorting or grading seed, grain or dried leguminous vegetables.
