About HS Code 701962
This category specifically targets non-woven, mechanically bonded fabrics made from glass fiber rovings, as well as other closed fabrics derived from rovings. Unlike woven fabrics, non-woven materials offer isotropic properties (uniform strength in all directions) or specific directional reinforcement depending on their construction, making them highly versatile. They are extensively used in applications requiring good conformability, such as complex molded parts, or where rapid resin impregnation is desired. Key industries include construction (roofing, insulation), automotive (headliners, sound deadening), and filtration. Major importers and exporters are typically countries with robust manufacturing bases for these end products. Traders need to consider factors like fiber orientation, binder type, and areal weight, as these significantly influence the material's performance and processing characteristics in composite manufacturing or other industrial uses.
Products Under This Code
