HS v2022 Code: 580640

About fabrics; narrow woven, consisting of warp without weft, assembled by means of an adhesive (bolducs)

HS code 580640 covers a specialized category of narrow woven fabrics known as 'bolducs'. These fabrics are unique in that they consist solely of warp threads, without any weft or filling threads. Instead, the warp threads are held together using an adhesive, creating a durable and versatile material. Bolducs find widespread applications across various industries, from apparel and home textiles to industrial applications, making them an important component of the broader textile and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of bolducs involves a specialized weaving process. First, the warp threads are carefully selected and prepared. These threads are then woven together without the use of any weft or filling threads. Instead, an adhesive is applied to the warp threads, binding them together and creating the final fabric structure. This process requires precise control over the tension and alignment of the warp threads to ensure the desired characteristics of the final product.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of bolducs include high-quality warp threads, which can be made from a variety of natural and synthetic fibers such as 5001000 Silk, 5205000 Cotton, or 5402000 Synthetic filaments. Additionally, the adhesive used to bind the warp threads together is a critical input, as it must be compatible with the chosen fibers and provide the necessary strength and durability. Specialized weaving equipment, such as narrow-width looms, is also an essential input for the manufacturing of bolducs.

Production outputs

Bolducs produced under HS code 580640 find a wide range of applications. They are commonly used in the manufacture of 6217000 Other made-up clothing accessories and 6307000 Other made-up articles, where their unique properties, such as flexibility and strength, make them well-suited for applications like labels, trimmings, and reinforcements. Additionally, bolducs may be used as inputs for the production of 5806000 Narrow woven fabrics, which are further processed into a variety of textile products.
