What does melt blown fabric mean? The meltblown nonwoven fabric is known as the “heart of the face masks”, disperses molten plastic through high-speed hot air, and spins the polymer melt through the spinneret of the ultra-fine nozzle, making it a high-performance polypropylene meltblown filter material. Fibers are extremely thinner than other materials.
Melt-blown non woven fabric use polypropylene as the main raw material except for PLA Meltblown, and the fiber diameter can reach 1 to 5 microns. These ultra-fine fibers with unique capillary structure increase the number and surface area of fibers per unit area, thereby making the melt-blown fabrics have good filtration. It can be used in the fields of air, liquid filter materials, insulation materials, absorption materials, mask materials, thermal insulation materials and wiping cloths.
The melt blown technique for making nonwoven products has been forecast in recent years as one of the fastest-growing in the nonwovens industry. With the current expansion and interest, it cannot be questioned that meltblown is well on its way to becoming one of the major nonwoven technologies. Technical developments are also on the horizon that will increase the scope and utility of this technology. The application of speciality polymer structures will no doubt offer new nonwoven materials unobtainable by other competitive technologies. So a strong and bright future be forecasted for this technology.
