Products classified under HTS 5501.11.00.00
Aramid Filament Tow for Bulletproof Vests
Synthetic filament tow made from aramid fibers, such as Kevlar, used in the production of high-strength ballistic fabrics for bulletproof vests. It falls under HTS 5501.11.00.00 as synthetic filament tow specifically of aramids, a type of nylon or other polyamide. This tow provides exceptional tensile strength and heat resistance for protective applications.
Kevlar Aramid Tow for Aerospace Composites
High-performance aramid filament tow, branded as Kevlar, designed for reinforcing aerospace composite materials like aircraft skins and rocket components. Classified under HTS 5501.11.00.00 due to its aramid polyamide composition in tow form prior to weaving or compounding. Offers superior impact resistance and lightweight strength.
Nomex Aramid Tow for Firefighter Gear
Meta-aramid filament tow like Nomex, used to spin yarns for flame-resistant fabrics in firefighter turnout gear and protective clothing. It is specifically under HTS 5501.11.00.00 as aramid tow, prized for its inherent fire retardancy and thermal stability. Unprocessed tow form distinguishes it from finished yarns or fabrics.
Aramid Tow for Cut-Resistant Gloves
Filament tow of aramid fibers blended into yarns for cut-resistant industrial gloves and sleeves. Under HTS 5501.11.00.00 as synthetic aramid tow, valued for its slash and abrasion resistance. Ships in hanks for yarn spinning prior to knitting.
Para-Aramid Tow for Sailcloth
High-modulus para-aramid filament tow for premium sailcloth and yacht rigging fabrics. HTS 5501.11.00.00 covers this aramid tow form, essential for low-creep performance in marine environments.
Meta-Aramid Tow for Thermal Blankets
Meta-aramid tow for non-woven thermal insulation blankets in aerospace and rail applications. Classified as HTS 5501.11.00.00 aramid tow for its heat stabilization properties.
Kevlar 49 Aramid Tow for Tennis Rackets
High-tenacity Kevlar 49 tow reinforcing composite tennis racket frames and sports equipment. HTS 5501.11.00.00 for aramid synthetic filament tow used in prepreg production.
