About yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of polypropylene (not high tenacity or textured), single, twisted more than 50 turns per metre, not for retail sale, not sewing thread
HS code 540253 covers a specific type of synthetic yarn and filament made from polypropylene. This yarn is an essential input for a wide range of textile and manufacturing industries, playing a crucial role in the global supply chain. Its versatility and cost-effectiveness make it a popular choice for applications ranging from clothing and home furnishings to industrial textiles and composite materials.
Production process
The production of the yarn and filament covered under HS code 540253 typically involves a multi-step process. First, polypropylene resin is extruded into continuous filaments. These filaments are then drawn, twisted, and wound onto bobbins or packages. The high twist rate of more than 50 turns per meter gives the yarn its unique properties and characteristics.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of the goods under HS code 540253 include polypropylene resin, which serves as the raw material, as well as specialized extrusion, drawing, and twisting machinery. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production equipment.
Production outputs
The yarn and filament produced under HS code 540253 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacture of a wide range of textile products, including 540220 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn and 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn. These materials may also be used in the production of industrial textiles, composite materials, and other specialized applications.
