HS v2022 Code: 560312

About nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 25g/m2 but not more than 70g/m2)

HS code 560312 covers a wide range of nonwoven fabrics made from man-made filaments, weighing between 25g/m2 and 70g/m2. These materials are essential components in various industries, including textiles, automotive, construction, and personal care products. Their versatility and unique properties make them a crucial part of the global supply chain, contributing to the overall economic growth and development.

Production process

Nonwovens under HS code 560312 are typically produced using techniques such as spunbonding, meltblowing, or a combination of both. In the spunbonding process, continuous filaments are extruded, drawn, and then bonded together using heat, chemical, or mechanical methods. The meltblowing process involves extruding molten polymer into fine fibers, which are then collected on a moving surface and bonded together. These production methods allow for the creation of a wide range of nonwoven fabrics with varying properties and applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nonwovens under HS code 560312 include man-made filaments, such as polyester, polypropylene, or nylon. Additionally, various chemicals, such as binders, surfactants, and finishing agents, may be used to impart specific properties to the final product. Specialized machinery, including extruders, spinnerets, and bonding equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

Nonwovens produced under HS code 560312 have a wide range of applications, including 560311 (Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing not more than 25g/m2)) for lightweight applications, 560314 (Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 70g/m2)) for heavier-duty uses, and 560329 (Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made staple fibers, (weighing more than 25g/m2)) for applications requiring different fiber types. These nonwovens are commonly used in the production of personal care products, filtration media, insulation materials, and various industrial and consumer goods.
