About felt; impregnated, coated, covered or laminated (excluding needleloom felt and stitch-bonded fibre fabrics)

HS code 560290 covers a wide range of felt products that have been impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated. These materials are essential in various industries, from construction and automotive to apparel and home furnishings. The versatility and durability of these felt products make them a crucial component in the global trade of industrial and consumer goods.

Production process

The production of felt products under HS code 560290 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as wool, synthetic fibers, or a combination of both, are processed into a non-woven fabric through a felting process. This fabric is then subjected to various treatments, including impregnation, coating, covering, or lamination, to enhance its properties and performance characteristics. The specific techniques used depend on the intended application of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 560290 felt products include raw materials like wool, synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester, nylon), and various chemicals and additives used for the impregnation, coating, covering, or lamination processes. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as felting machines, coating and lamination lines, and finishing equipment, are essential for the manufacturing of these materials.

Production outputs

The felt products covered under HS code 560290 are used in a wide range of applications, including 540700 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, 540810 Woven fabrics of artificial filament yarn, 590310 Textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, and 680800 Panels, boards, tiles, blocks and similar articles of vegetable fibre, of straw or of shavings, chips, particles, sawdust or other waste, of wood, agglomerated with cement, plaster or other mineral binders. These materials are often used in the production of various industrial and consumer goods, such as insulation, filtration, and protective equipment.
