Products classified under HTS 5501.40.00.00
Polypropylene Staple Fiber Tow for Spun Yarns
This polypropylene filament tow is processed into staple fibers for spinning into yarns used in woven fabrics or nonwovens. Classified under HTS 5501.40.00.00 as synthetic filament tow specifically of polypropylene, prior to cutting into discrete fibers. It serves as a key intermediate in textile manufacturing for products like geotextiles and apparel linings.
Polypropylene Top Tow for Nonwoven Fabrics
Uncut filament tow of polypropylene used directly in meltblown or spunbond nonwoven processes for products like disposable medical gowns and hygiene items. Falls under HTS 5501.40.00.00 as it remains in continuous filament form before conversion. Essential for high-volume production of lightweight nonwovens.
Continuous Polypropylene Filament Tow for Ropes
High-tenacity polypropylene tow designed for twisting into ropes and twines for industrial and marine applications. HTS 5501.40.00.00 applies as it's imported as aligned, uncut filament tow of polypropylene. Provides strength and UV resistance in cordage production.
Polypropylene Tow for Carpet Backing Yarns
Filament tow of polypropylene intended for conversion into yarns used in woven carpet backing fabrics. Classified in HTS 5501.40.00.00 as it's synthetic tow of polypropylene, not yet drawn into yarn form. Key material for durable, low-cost tufted carpet substrates.
Industrial Polypropylene Filter Tow
Continuous polypropylene filament tow engineered for high-filtration media in air and liquid filters. Under HTS 5501.40.00.00 as polypropylene synthetic tow, used before needling or splitting into filter felts. Offers chemical resistance for industrial applications.
Polypropylene Monofilament Tow for Nets
Tow composed of bundled polypropylene monofilaments for fishing nets and safety netting production. HTS 5501.40.00.00 covers it as polypropylene filament tow, prior to splitting into individual monofilaments. Provides buoyancy and strength in net fabrication.
