Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing not more than 25g/m2)

HS v2022 Code: 560311

About nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing not more than 25g/m2)

HS code 560311 covers a crucial segment of the textile industry - the production of lightweight, non-woven fabrics made from man-made filaments. These materials find widespread application across various sectors, from clothing and personal care products to industrial and construction applications. As a highly versatile and cost-effective solution, the 560311 industry plays a vital role in the global supply chain, catering to the diverse needs of manufacturers and consumers alike.

Production process

The production of 560311 non-woven fabrics typically involves a process known as spunbonding. In this method, man-made filaments, such as polypropylene or polyester, are extruded and then immediately laid onto a conveyor belt or rotating drum, where they are bonded together using heat, chemical, or mechanical means. This process results in a continuous, lightweight, and durable fabric that can be further processed, coated, or laminated to meet specific requirements.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the 560311 industry include man-made filaments, such as polypropylene, polyester, or nylon, as well as specialized machinery for the spunbonding process. Additionally, various chemicals and binders may be used to enhance the fabric's properties, such as water repellency, flame retardancy, or antimicrobial properties. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production equipment and ensure consistent quality.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 560311 industry is lightweight, non-woven fabrics that can be used in a wide range of applications. These fabrics may be further processed, coated, or laminated to meet the specific needs of various industries. Some of the key consumers of 560311 non-woven fabrics include the 650300 Apparel and Clothing Accessories industry, the 940490 Bedding, Mattresses, Mattress Supports, Cushions and Similar Stuffed Furnishings industry, and the 680800 Building Materials industry, among others.
