About glass fibres; mechanically bonded fabrics and closed woven fabrics, plain weave, of yarns, not coated or laminated (other than rovings)

HS code 701963 covers a range of glass fiber products, including mechanically bonded fabrics and closed woven fabrics made from glass yarn. These materials have a wide variety of applications in industries such as construction, transportation, and electronics, making them an important component of the global economy. The production and trade of these specialized glass fiber products are crucial for supporting technological advancement and infrastructure development worldwide.

Production process

The production of the glass fiber products covered under HS code 701963 typically involves a multi-step process. First, glass fibers are manufactured by drawing molten glass through small orifices to create continuous filaments. These fibers are then woven or bonded together using mechanical techniques to create the desired fabric structures. The key production methods include plain weaving, where the warp and weft yarns are interlaced at right angles, as well as various bonding techniques that use mechanical forces to interlock the fibers without the need for weaving.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the glass fiber products under HS code 701963 include high-quality glass raw materials, such as silica sand, limestone, and other mineral compounds. Specialized machinery, such as glass fiber drawing equipment and fabric production machines, are also essential. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires a skilled workforce capable of operating the equipment and ensuring consistent product quality.

Production outputs

The glass fiber products covered by HS code 701963 are primarily used as reinforcement materials in a wide range of applications. These fabrics and woven materials are often incorporated into 392010 Plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, 680800 Panels, boards, tiles, blocks and similar articles of vegetable fibre, of straw or of shavings, chips, particles, sawdust or other waste, of wood, agglomerated with cement, plaster or other mineral binders, and 870810 (Bumpers and parts thereof (including bumper bars), for motor vehicles), among other products. The versatility of these glass fiber materials makes them an essential component in the manufacturing of various goods across multiple industries.
