Which code does this activity belong in?
Nonwoven Fabric Mills manufactures fabrics through bonding or interlocking fibers using mechanical, chemical, thermal, or solvent processes, distinguishing it from Broadwoven Fabric Mills, which weaves yarns together on looms; Narrow Fabric Mills, which produces narrower woven textiles; and Knit Fabric Mills, which creates fabric by forming interconnected loops of yarn. The defining characteristic of nonwoven production is the direct assembly of fibers into sheets without the spinning and weaving steps required by these competing fabric manufacturing industries.
