Glass fibres; (including glass wool), threads and mats, other than mechanically or chemically bonded mats
HS v2022 Code: 701919
About glass fibres; (including glass wool), threads and mats, other than mechanically or chemically bonded mats
HS code 701919 covers a diverse range of glass fiber products, including glass wool, threads, and mats. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, from construction and insulation to textiles and composites. As a versatile and high-performance material, glass fiber products are in high demand globally, contributing significantly to international trade and the broader economy.
Production process
The production of glass fiber products under HS code 701919 typically involves a multi-step process. First, molten glass is extruded through small orifices to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then either woven into threads or randomly deposited to create mats and wool-like materials. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the desired end-product, such as the use of mechanical or chemical bonding methods to create different mat structures.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of glass fiber products under HS code 701919 include high-quality raw glass materials, such as silica sand, limestone, and other mineral additives. Specialized machinery, such as glass melting furnaces, fiber-forming equipment, and weaving or mat-forming machines, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production processes and ensure consistent quality.
Production outputs
The glass fiber products covered by HS code 701919 are used in a wide range of applications. The glass threads and mats can be used in the manufacture of 540720 Woven fabrics obtained from strip or the like, 700721 (Glass fibres (including glass wool) and articles thereof), and 701939 (Glass fibres (including glass wool) and articles thereof, other than woven fabrics). These materials are particularly valued for their strength, durability, and thermal insulation properties, making them essential components in industries such as construction, transportation, and renewable energy.
