Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 150g/m2)

HS v2022 Code: 560314

About nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, (weighing more than 150g/m2)

HS code 560314 covers a broad range of nonwoven fabrics made from man-made filaments, weighing more than 150g/m2. These materials are widely used across various industries, including textiles, construction, automotive, and filtration. They play a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential materials for a diverse range of products and applications.

Production process

The production of nonwoven fabrics under HS code 560314 typically involves a combination of techniques, such as spunbonding, meltblowing, and needle-punching. In the spunbonding process, continuous filaments are extruded, drawn, and then laid down to form a web, which is then bonded using heat, chemical, or mechanical methods. Meltblowing, on the other hand, involves the extrusion of molten polymers into fine fibers, which are then deposited onto a collecting surface. Needle-punching is a mechanical bonding technique that uses barbed needles to interlock the fibers, creating a cohesive nonwoven fabric.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nonwoven fabrics under HS code 560314 include man-made filaments, such as polyester, polypropylene, or nylon. Additionally, various chemicals, such as binders, coatings, and finishes, may be used to impart specific properties to the final product. Specialized machinery, including extruders, spinnerets, and needle-punching equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

Nonwoven fabrics produced under HS code 560314 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 25 g/m2, 560312 Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, weighing more than 25 g/m2 but not more than 70 g/m2, and 560313 Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, of man-made filaments, weighing more than 70 g/m2 but not more than 150 g/m2. These materials are used in a variety of products, such as filtration media, geotextiles, insulation materials, and personal protective equipment.
