Variant of NAICS 2012 - Durable / non-durable manufacturing industries

• 31-33 - Manufacturing
• 31-33nd - Non-durable manufacturing industries
• 325 - Chemical manufacturing
• 3252 - Resin, synthetic rubber, and artificial and synthetic fibres and filaments manufacturing
• 32522 - Artificial and synthetic fibres and filaments manufacturing

325220 - Artificial and synthetic fibres and filaments manufacturing

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing artificial and synthetic fibres and filaments in the form of monofilament, filament yarn, staple or tow. Artificial fibres are made from organic polymers derived from natural raw materials, mainly cellulose. Synthetic fibres are generally derived from petrochemicals. Establishments that both manufacture and texture fibres are included.
