About yarn; metallised, whether or not gimped, of textile yarn, or strip or the like of heading no. 5404 or 5405, combined with metal in the form of thread, strip or powder or covered with metal

HS code 560500 covers a specialized category of yarn that combines textile fibers with metal. This type of metallized yarn is used in a variety of applications, from high-fashion textiles to industrial products. Its unique properties, such as enhanced strength, conductivity, and aesthetic appeal, make it an important input for numerous industries within the broader textile and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of metallized yarn (HS 560500) typically involves combining textile fibers, such as cotton, polyester, or silk, with metal in the form of thread, strip, or powder. This is often achieved through techniques like wrapping, coating, or laminating the textile material with the metal component. The resulting yarn can then be further processed, such as by being gimped (wrapped with another yarn) or woven into fabrics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of metallized yarn (HS 560500) include textile fibers, metal components (e.g., metallic thread, strip, or powder), and specialized machinery for the combining and processing of these materials. Depending on the specific application, other inputs such as dyes, sizing agents, or finishing chemicals may also be necessary.

Production outputs

Metallized yarn (HS 560500) is a versatile output that can be used in a wide range of industries and applications. It may be woven or knitted into fabrics for high-end fashion, interior design, or technical textiles. The yarn can also be used in the production of 854411 Winding wire and 854420 Coaxial cable, as well as in various industrial applications that require conductive or decorative properties.
