HS v2022 Code: 590320

About textile fabrics; impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with polyurethane

HS code 590320 covers textile fabrics that have been impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with polyurethane. These specialized fabrics have a wide range of applications, from clothing and upholstery to industrial and technical textiles. They offer enhanced properties such as water resistance, durability, and abrasion resistance, making them essential materials in various industries.

Production process

The production of polyurethane-coated textile fabrics typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base textile fabric, which can be made from natural or synthetic fibers, is prepared. The fabric is then passed through a coating machine, where a layer of polyurethane is applied to one or both sides. The polyurethane coating can be applied using techniques such as knife-over-roll, reverse-roll, or dip-coating. After the coating process, the fabric may undergo additional finishing steps, such as drying, curing, or calendering, to ensure the desired properties and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of polyurethane-coated textile fabrics include the base textile fabric, polyurethane resin, and various chemicals and additives. The choice of textile fiber, such as 5001000 cotton, 5002000 silk, or 5501000 synthetic fibers, can impact the final properties of the fabric. Polyurethane resins, which can be either solvent-based or water-based, are the primary coating material. Additional inputs may include solvents, catalysts, and other additives to enhance the fabric's performance or appearance.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 590320 is polyurethane-coated textile fabrics, which find applications in a wide range of industries. These fabrics can be used in the production of 6210000 garments, 9401000 upholstery, 6306000 tarpaulins, and 8708000 automotive components, among others. The coated fabrics may also be further processed or combined with other materials to create specialized products. The outputs of this industry can be consumed by various 6000000 textile and apparel, 8400000 furniture, and 8700000 transportation equipment industries.
