Glass fibres; non-woven mechanically bonded fabrics and closed fabrics of rovings

HS v2022 Code: 701962

About glass fibres; non-woven mechanically bonded fabrics and closed fabrics of rovings

HS code 701962 covers a diverse range of glass fiber products, including non-woven mechanically bonded fabrics and closed fabrics of rovings. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, from construction and transportation to electronics and renewable energy. 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 701962 typically involves a multi-step process. First, molten glass is extruded through small orifices to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then gathered into strands or rovings, which can be further processed into non-woven fabrics or closed fabrics. The non-woven fabrics are mechanically bonded, while the closed fabrics are woven or knitted from the glass fiber rovings.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of glass fiber products under HS code 701962 include high-quality glass raw materials, such as silica sand, limestone, and other mineral additives. Specialized machinery, such as glass melting furnaces, fiber-forming equipment, and fabric production machines, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor to operate the production equipment and ensure consistent quality.

Production outputs

The glass fiber products covered by HS code 701962 are used in a wide range of applications, including 701931 Glass fibres; woven fabrics of rovings, 701939 Glass fibres; woven fabrics, other than of rovings, and 701940 Glass fibres; fabrics, including narrow fabrics. These materials are often incorporated into composite materials, insulation products, and reinforcement solutions for various industries, such as construction, transportation, and renewable energy.
