Glass fibres; open woven fabrics of a width not exceeding 30cm

HS v2022 Code: 701965

About glass fibres; open woven fabrics of a width not exceeding 30cm

HS code 701965 covers the production and trade of glass fibre open woven fabrics with a width not exceeding 30cm. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader textile and composite materials sectors, providing essential raw materials and intermediate products for a wide range of applications, from construction and transportation to consumer goods and electronics. The global glass fibre market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from various end-use industries.

Production process

The production of glass fibre open woven fabrics typically involves a multi-step process. First, glass fibres are extruded from molten glass and then woven into a loose, open fabric structure. The fabric is then subjected to various finishing processes, such as heat-setting, sizing, or coating, to impart the desired properties and characteristics, such as strength, flexibility, and dimensional stability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 701965 products include high-quality glass raw materials, such as silica sand, alumina, and various mineral additives. Specialized weaving machinery and equipment, as well as energy sources for the melting and extrusion processes, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and maintaining quality standards.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 701965 is glass fibre open woven fabrics, which are then used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These fabrics may be further processed or incorporated into 701990 Glass fibres and articles thereof for applications in 870810 (Parts and accessories of bodies (including cabs) for motor vehicles), 940320 Other metal furniture, and 854420 Optical fibre cables, among others.
