HS v2022 Code: 5906

About textile fabrics, rubberised; other than those of heading no. 5902

HS code 5906 covers a range of textile fabrics that have been rubberized or coated with rubber. These materials are widely used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and construction, due to their unique properties such as water resistance, durability, and flexibility. The global market for rubberized textile fabrics is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from end-use sectors and advancements in manufacturing technologies.

Production process

The production of rubberized textile fabrics typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base textile material, such as woven or knitted fabrics, is prepared by cleaning and pre-treating. The fabric is then coated or laminated with a layer of rubber, often using techniques like dipping, spreading, or calendering. The coated fabric is then dried and cured to ensure the rubber adheres properly to the textile. Finally, the finished fabric may undergo additional processing, such as cutting, shaping, or adding reinforcements, depending on the intended application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 5906 rubberized textile fabrics include the base textile materials (e.g., 5208 Woven fabrics of cotton, 5407 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, 6001 Pile fabrics, including 'long pile' fabrics and terry fabrics, knitted or crocheted), various rubber compounds (e.g., natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or blends), and specialized machinery for the coating and curing processes. Additionally, chemical additives, such as adhesives, stabilizers, and dyes, may be used to enhance the fabric's performance and appearance.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 5906 industry are the rubberized textile fabrics themselves, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. These fabrics may be further processed and incorporated into products such as 4011 New pneumatic tyres, of rubber, 4013 Inner tubes, of rubber, 5902 Tyre cord fabric of high tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides, polyesters or viscose rayon, 6306 Tarpaulins, awnings and sunblinds; tents; sails for boats, sailboards or landcraft; camping goods, and various industrial and technical textiles. The versatility of rubberized fabrics makes them an essential component in many manufacturing sectors.
