About linoleum, whether or not cut to shape; floor coverings consisting of a coating or covering applied on a textile backing, whether or not cut to shape

HS code 5904 covers a diverse range of floor coverings, including linoleum and other textile-backed coatings. These products play a crucial role in the construction and renovation industries, providing durable and versatile flooring solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial settings. As a key component of the broader 54 Carpets and other textile floor coverings industry, the 5904 product group contributes significantly to the global economy through international trade and domestic consumption.

Production process

The production of linoleum and textile-backed floor coverings typically involves a multi-step process. Linoleum is created by oxidizing linseed oil and combining it with other natural materials such as cork dust, wood flour, and mineral fillers. This mixture is then applied to a jute or other textile backing and calendered to achieve the desired thickness and finish. Textile-backed floor coverings, on the other hand, are produced by applying a coating or covering, such as vinyl or rubber, to a textile substrate.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 5904 products include linseed oil, cork dust, wood flour, mineral fillers, and textile backings such as jute or other woven fabrics. Additionally, specialized machinery for mixing, calendering, and cutting the materials to shape is essential. The availability and cost of these raw materials and equipment can significantly impact the production and pricing of these floor coverings.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 5904 are linoleum and textile-backed floor coverings, which are used in a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial settings. These products may be further consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 4412 Plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, 6810 Articles of cement, of concrete or of artificial stone, and 9403 Other furniture and parts thereof.
