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

HS v2022 Code: 540412

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

HS code 540412 covers monofilament of polypropylene, a versatile synthetic fiber with a wide range of applications. Polypropylene monofilament is a key material in various industries, including textiles, packaging, and industrial manufacturing. Its importance lies in its durability, chemical resistance, and cost-effectiveness, making it a popular choice for numerous products and applications across the global economy.

Production process

The production of polypropylene monofilament typically involves an extrusion process. Polypropylene resin is melted and forced through a die to create a continuous filament. The filament is then cooled, stretched, and wound onto spools or bobbins. Depending on the desired characteristics, the monofilament may undergo additional processing, such as heat-setting or surface treatment, to enhance its properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of polypropylene monofilament include polypropylene resin, which serves as the primary raw material. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, cooling systems, and winding equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 540412 is polypropylene monofilament, which can be used in a variety of applications. This monofilament may be further processed or incorporated into other products, such as 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn or 560312 Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments.
