About felt; needleloom felt and stitch-bonded fibre fabrics, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated

HS code 560210 covers a diverse range of felt and stitch-bonded fiber fabrics, which are essential materials in various industries. These products find applications in areas such as insulation, filtration, and textile manufacturing, contributing to the broader economy. The versatility and durability of these materials make them indispensable in numerous sectors, from construction to automotive and beyond.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 560210 typically involves two primary techniques: needleloom felt and stitch-bonding. Needleloom felt is created by interlocking and compacting fibers using a specialized machine with barbed needles. Stitch-bonding, on the other hand, involves the use of threads to bind together layers of fiber, creating a cohesive and durable fabric. These processes can be further enhanced through impregnation, coating, or lamination, depending on the desired properties and end-use applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials under HS code 560210 include a variety of natural and synthetic fibers, such as wool, polyester, and nylon. Additionally, specialized machinery, including needleloom machines and stitch-bonding equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. Depending on the specific application, additional materials like adhesives, coatings, or laminates may also be utilized.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 560210 include a wide range of felt and stitch-bonded fiber fabrics, which can be further processed or incorporated into various end products. These materials are often used as inputs for the production of 560221 Felt, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated: Other, 560229 Felt, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated: Other, and 560312 Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated: Of man-made filaments.
