Elastomeric monofilament; of 67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm

HS v2022 Code: 540411

About elastomeric monofilament; of 67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1mm

HS code 540411 covers the classification of elastomeric monofilaments, which are essential components in various industries, including textiles, automotive, and medical applications. These high-performance fibers offer exceptional elasticity, durability, and dimensional stability, making them crucial for manufacturing a wide range of products that require flexible yet strong materials.

Production process

The production of elastomeric monofilaments under HS code 540411 typically involves a process called melt spinning. In this method, the raw materials, such as polyurethane or other elastomeric polymers, are melted and extruded through a spinneret to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then cooled, drawn, and wound onto bobbins or spools, ensuring the desired diameter and tensile properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of elastomeric monofilaments under HS code 540411 include elastomeric polymers, such as polyurethane, as well as specialized extrusion and spinning equipment. Additionally, the process may require various additives, such as stabilizers and lubricants, to enhance the filaments' performance and processing characteristics.

Production outputs

Elastomeric monofilaments produced under HS code 540411 are primarily used as inputs for the manufacture of a wide range of products, including 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn for apparel and industrial applications, 560721 Cordage, ropes, and cables of synthetic fibers for various industrial and marine uses, and 300610 Sterile surgical catgut, similar sterile suture materials for medical applications. These versatile fibers are essential components in the production of many high-performance and specialized goods.
