Products classified under HTS 5501.30.00.90
Acrylic Filament Tow for Carpet Yarn
Synthetic filament tow made from acrylic polymers, processed into continuous strands for spinning into yarn used in carpet manufacturing. Classified under HTS 5501.30.00.90 as 'other' acrylic or modacrylic filament tow, not specified for apparel or specific industrial uses. It meets the definition of synthetic filament tow in untwisted form, excluding staple fibers.
Modacrylic Flame-Retardant Tow
Modacrylic filament tow engineered with inherent flame-retardant properties for protective textile applications like firefighting gear. Falls under HTS 5501.30.00.90 as 'other' acrylic or modacrylic tow, characterized by at least 35% but less than 85% acrylonitrile content. Supplied in untwisted, continuous filament form for yarn production.
Acrylic Tow for Hand-Knitting Yarns
High-bulk acrylic filament tow designed for conversion into soft, bulky yarns for hand-knitting and craft projects. HTS 5501.30.00.90 covers this 'other' synthetic tow with specific crimp and denier for yarn spinning. It remains untwisted tow, not yet yarn.
Acrylic Filament Tow for Upholstery Fabrics
Durable acrylic tow with high tenacity for spinning into yarns used in upholstery and outdoor fabrics. Classified in 5501.30.00.90 as unspecified acrylic filament tow in continuous untwisted form. Meets Chapter 55 note for synthetic filament tow excluding textured products.
Modacrylic Tow for Filter Media
Specialty modacrylic filament tow for producing filter fabrics in industrial air and liquid filtration systems. HTS 5501.30.00.90 includes this 'other' category for modacrylic tow not dedicated to apparel. Features chemical resistance typical of modacrylic polymers.
Acrylic Bulked Continuous Tow
Texturized acrylic filament tow with bulked crimp for direct conversion to high-loft batts or yarn. Under 5501.30.00.90 as 'other' acrylic tow, it remains untwisted despite bulking process. Used primarily for blankets and fill materials.
Acrylic Tow for Artificial Fur Production
Fine-denier acrylic filament tow mimicking fur texture for artificial fur fabrics in fashion and upholstery. HTS 5501.30.00.90 'other' category applies to this unprocessed tow form. High crimp simulates natural fur pile.
Modacrylic High-Tenacity Tow
High-tenacity modacrylic filament tow for industrial cordage and reinforcement yarns. Classified 5501.30.00.90 as other modacrylic tow with strength exceeding standard textile tows. Untwisted continuous filament form.
Acrylic Tow for Wet-Spun Yarns
Acrylic filament tow specifically prepared for wet-spinning processes into fine count yarns. HTS 5501.30.00.90 covers this intermediate product in continuous tow delivery form. Optimized crimp for wet processing.
Colored Acrylic Filament Tow
Solution-dyed acrylic filament tow in various colors for direct yarn production without additional dyeing. Under 5501.30.00.90 as 'other' acrylic tow, color is integral to polymer matrix. Reduces environmental impact in yarn manufacturing.
Acrylic Tow for Nonwoven Applications
Acrylic filament tow optimized for thermal bonding in nonwoven fabrics for geotextiles and hygiene products. HTS 5501.30.00.90 'other' includes this form before mechanical processing. Low-melt binder fibers common.
Modacrylic Tow for Battery Separators
Specialty modacrylic filament tow for microporous battery separator fabrics in lithium-ion batteries. 5501.30.00.90 covers this high-tech application tow with precise denier control. Chemical stability key property.
Acrylic Microdenier Tow
Ultra-fine microdenier acrylic filament tow (under 1 denier/filament) for microfiber fabrics and filtration. HTS 5501.30.00.90 'other' acrylic tow includes specialty fine deniers. Enables high surface area textiles.
Bicomponent Acrylic/Modacrylic Tow
Core-sheath bicomponent tow combining acrylic core with modacrylic sheath for self-crimping and bonding. 5501.30.00.90 covers composite acrylic/modacrylic tows. Enables differential shrinkage textiles.
Acrylic Tow for Medical Textiles
Biocompatible acrylic filament tow for wound dressings and surgical fabrics with antimicrobial properties. HTS 5501.30.00.90 'other' includes medical-grade tow specifications. Low extractables critical.
