Adhesive Felt Circles
Adhesive felt circles are small, typically pre-cut shapes made of felt material with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. They serve a variety of protective, cushioning, and noise-reducing purposes.
Material
The base material is felt, most commonly made from either:
- Wool Felt: Derived from natural sheep’s wool, offering excellent durability, cushioning, and a premium feel. Generally more expensive.
- Synthetic Felt: Commonly polyester or acrylic fibers. More affordable than wool felt, offering good color retention and consistent thickness.
- Acrylic Felt: A softer, more pliable synthetic option, often used in crafts and lighter-duty applications.
The adhesive is generally acrylic-based, chosen for its balance of tack, temperature resistance, and compatibility with various surfaces.
Purpose
The primary purposes of adhesive felt circles include:
- Scratch Protection: Preventing abrasion and damage to surfaces when furniture or objects are moved or placed on them.
- Noise Reduction: Dampening sounds caused by contact between hard surfaces.
- Leveling: Compensating for slight unevenness in furniture legs.
- Slip Prevention: Providing a minimal amount of grip to prevent furniture from sliding.
- Crafting & DIY: Used in a wide range of creative projects.
Function
The function relies on the adhesive’s ability to bond to the underside of furniture or objects, creating a protective barrier between the object and the supporting surface. The felt itself provides cushioning and absorbs impact. The material’s inherent properties reduce friction and dampen vibrations.
Usage Scenarios
- Furniture Protection: Applied to the feet of chairs, tables, stools, and other furniture to protect hardwood, tile, laminate, and other flooring types.
- Electronics: Used under speakers, amplifiers, and other electronic components to prevent scratching and reduce vibration.
- Crafts & Hobbies: Used in scrapbooking, quilting, model making, and other DIY projects.
- Home Improvement: Protecting cabinets, drawers, and other surfaces from damage.
- Industrial Applications: Used in a variety of light-duty applications requiring cushioning or protection.
Common Types
- Standard Adhesive Felt Pads: Typically 1/4" to 1" in diameter, available in various thicknesses.
- Heavy-Duty Adhesive Felt Pads: Thicker and made with a stronger adhesive for heavier items.
- Self-Stick Furniture Sliders: Larger felt pads with a sliding surface, designed to make moving furniture easier.
- Colored Felt Pads: Available in a range of colors for aesthetic purposes or for specific crafting projects.
- Shaped Felt Pads: Available in squares, rectangles, and other shapes to fit specific applications.
- Woven Felt Pads: Offer increased durability and resistance to wear.
Adhesive felt circles are typically composed of felt material with an adhesive backing for attachment purposes. These are used in a variety of applications including crafts, protective padding, and furniture coasters.
Here are relevant HS codes based on the provided reference material:
- 5602101000: This HS code covers felt, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated; needleloom felt and stitchbonded fiber fabrics; laminated fabrics. The base tariff is 12.0%, with an additional 25.0% surcharge, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 67.0%. This code is applicable if the felt circles are laminated with adhesive.
- 5602109090: This HS code also covers felt, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated; needleloom felt and stitchbonded fiber fabrics; other. The base tariff is 10.6%, with an additional 25.0% surcharge, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 65.6%. This code is applicable if the felt circles are not laminated but are otherwise composed of needleloom or stitchbonded fiber fabrics.
- 3926903500: This HS code covers other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914; beads, bugles and spangles, not strung (except temporarily) and not set; articles thereof, not elsewhere specified or included; other. The base tariff is 6.5%, with an additional 7.5% surcharge, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 44.0%. This code may be applicable if the adhesive backing is plastic-based.
- 4823906000: This HS code covers other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, cut to size or shape; other articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers; other; other; of coated paper or paperboard; gaskets, washers and other seals. The base tariff is 0.0%, with an additional 25.0% surcharge, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 55.0%. This code may be applicable if the adhesive backing is paper-based.
Regarding these HS codes, please note the potential tariff increases after April 2, 2025. The specific composition of the adhesive backing (plastic, paper, or other material) will determine the most accurate HS code.
