Glass fibres; (including glass wool), mechanically bonded mats
HS v2022 Code: 701914
About glass fibres; (including glass wool), mechanically bonded mats
HS code 701914 covers the production of glass fibers, including glass wool, that are mechanically bonded into mats. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential insulation and reinforcement materials. Glass fiber mats are widely used in a variety of applications, from building insulation to composite materials, making them an integral component of the global economy.
Production process
The production of glass fiber mats involves several key steps. First, molten glass is extruded through small holes to create fine glass fibers. These fibers are then mechanically bonded together, often using a binder, to form a cohesive mat. The mats may undergo further processing, such as cutting or shaping, to meet specific customer requirements.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the production of glass fiber mats include raw materials such as silica sand, limestone, and other mineral compounds used to formulate the glass composition. Specialized machinery, such as glass fiber extrusion equipment and bonding systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, binders and other chemical additives may be used to enhance the properties and performance of the final product.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 701914 is glass fiber mats, which are used in a wide range of applications. These mats are often consumed by the construction industry for insulation purposes, as well as the automotive and aerospace sectors for reinforcement in composite materials. Other related HS codes that may consume the output of 701914 include 701939 (Glass fibres; (including glass wool) and articles thereof (e.g. yarn, woven fabrics)) and 392010 Plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, among others.
