Meltblown Nonwoven Production Technology

The production of Meltblown nonwovens is an advanced process based on the meltblowing extrusion technique. It involves melting a thermoplastic polymer, most commonly polypropylene, and pushing it through fine nozzles. Simultaneously, with the use of high-velocity air streams, the molten polymer is drawn into fine fibers, which lay down on a collecting mesh and bond together to form a nonwoven fabric structure. This process allows for the production of extremely fine fibers, characterized by a large surface area relative to their volume, offering excellent filtration properties.

 

Polymer fibers forming the structure of the nonwoven fabric are laid on the collecting mesh.
