Needle-Punched Glass Fiber Mat from China
Needle-punched mats are produced by mechanically interlocking chopped glass fibers through repeated needle punching, creating a stable non-woven structure. HTS 7019.14.00.00 covers these mechanically bonded mats of glass fibers, used in roofing felts and geotextiles. They differ from stitch-bonded or resin-bound variants.
