About glass fibres; woven fabrics (other than of rovings), n.e.c. in item no. 7019.5

HS code 701959 covers a diverse range of woven glass fiber fabrics, excluding those made from rovings. These fabrics have a wide array of applications across various industries, making them an integral component of the global manufacturing landscape. They are valued for their exceptional strength, durability, and thermal insulation properties, contributing to their widespread use in sectors such as construction, transportation, and renewable energy.

Production process

The production of glass fiber woven fabrics under HS code 701959 typically involves a multi-step process. First, glass fibers are extruded and drawn into continuous filaments. These filaments are then woven into a fabric using specialized looms. The weaving process can involve different patterns and techniques, such as plain weave, twill weave, or satin weave, to achieve the desired fabric characteristics. After weaving, the fabrics may undergo additional finishing processes, such as sizing, coating, or heat treatment, to enhance their properties and performance.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of glass fiber woven fabrics under HS code 701959 include high-quality glass raw materials, such as silica, alumina, and various mineral additives. Specialized machinery, including glass fiber extrusion equipment, weaving looms, and finishing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are required to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The glass fiber woven fabrics produced under HS code 701959 find applications in a wide range of industries. They are commonly used in the construction sector for insulation, reinforcement, and composite materials. The automotive industry also utilizes these fabrics for lightweight components and structural reinforcement. Additionally, the renewable energy sector, particularly the wind turbine industry, relies on these fabrics for blade reinforcement. Other potential consumers of these woven glass fiber fabrics include the aerospace, marine, and sports equipment industries, among others.
