Artificial and Synthetic Fibers and Filaments Manufacturing
NAICS 325220 · United States · 2022 edition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) manufacturing cellulosic (e.g., rayon, acetate) and noncellulosic (e.g., nylon, polyolefin, polyester) fibers and filaments in the form of monofilament, filament yarn, staple, or tow or (2) manufacturing and texturizing cellulosic and noncellulosic fibers and filaments.
Start the review with fire and explosion.
For Artificial and Synthetic Fibers and Filaments Manufacturing, the saved research highlights fire and explosion, environmental and pollution liability, workers' compensation. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What specific chemical feedstocks and solvents are used, and in what volumes are they stored on-site?
- What is the facility's environmental compliance history, including any prior regulatory actions or site assessments?
- Are there any known soil or groundwater contamination issues at the current or prior operating locations?
- What fire suppression and chemical containment systems are in place throughout the production areas?
- What is the age and maintenance history of primary process equipment such as extrusion and spinning lines?
- Does the operation rely on single-source suppliers for any critical chemical raw materials?
- For Artificial and Synthetic Fibers and Filaments Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about prior environmental enforcement actions, regulatory violations, or known site contamination?
- For Artificial and Synthetic Fibers and Filaments Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about high volumes of flammable solvents or chemical feedstocks without adequate fire suppression and containment infrastructure?

These facilities manufacture synthetic and cellulosic fibers and filaments — such as rayon, acetate, nylon, polyester, and polyolefin products — through chemical extrusion, spinning, drawing, and texturizing processes. Operations typically involve large quantities of chemical feedstocks, solvents, and high-temperature process equipment. Output is sold to textile, industrial, and specialty materials manufacturers.
Questions to investigate
