Glass fibres (including glass wool) and articles thereof (e.g. yarn, rovings, woven fabrics)
In plain English
This category covers glass fibers, including glass wool, and various products made from them such as yarns, rovings, and woven fabrics. The items are sorted by their physical form, distinguishing between chopped strands, slivers, threads, and different types of mats that are either mechanically or chemically bonded. Fabrics are further categorized based on how they are constructed, such as being closed or open woven, the width of the material, and whether yarns or rovings were used in their creation. Finally, the classification separates these specific fiber products from other general articles made of glass fibers that do not fit into the more detailed descriptions.
