About glass fibres; chemically bonded fabrics, open fabrics n.e.c. in heading 7019

HS code 701973 covers a diverse range of glass fiber products, including chemically bonded fabrics and open fabrics not elsewhere classified in heading 7019. 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, contributing significantly to global trade and economic growth.

Production process

The production of glass fiber products under HS code 701973 typically involves a multi-step process. First, glass fibers are manufactured by drawing molten glass through small orifices, creating fine, continuous filaments. These fibers are then chemically treated or combined with other materials to create the desired fabric or open structure. Techniques such as weaving, knitting, or non-woven processes are used to assemble the final products, ensuring they meet the specific requirements of various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of glass fiber products under HS code 701973 include high-quality glass raw materials, such as silica sand, limestone, and other mineral additives. Specialized machinery, including fiber-drawing equipment, chemical treatment systems, and fabric-forming machines, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and ensuring consistent quality.

Production outputs

The glass fiber products covered by HS code 701973 are used in a wide range of applications. These materials are often incorporated into 701940 Glass fibres; woven fabrics of glass fibre, 701952 (Glass fibres; thin sheets (voiles), webs, mats, mattresses, boards and similar nonwoven products), and 701959 Glass fibres; other articles n.e.c. in heading 7019, which are then further processed and used in various industries, such as construction, transportation, and renewable energy.
