Melt blown is a type of fabric called non woven fabric which is made from polymers such as polypropylene, raditional fabrics made of natural materials like cotton are woven together and it is nearly 10X bigger than melt blown non woven fabric threads – means it can make finer meshes much finer than cloth fabrics
It first developments in this field of technology in the industrial area started around 1945. The general process description is similar to the spunlaid process, but in detail, both types of processes are quite different
The melt-blown process is a one-step process in which high-velocity air blows a molten thermoplastic resin from an extruder die tip onto a conveyor or take up screen to form a fine fibrous and self bonding web
The fibers in the melt-blown web are laid together by combination of entanglement and cohesive sticking.
The resulting non woven fabric has a number of desirable properties that include:
- Absorbency
- Bacterial barrier
- Cushioning
- Filtering
- Flame retardancy
- Liquid repellency
- Resilience
- Softness
- Sterility
- Strength
- Stretch
- Washability
Meltblown non woven fabrics are used in a variety of applications, creating products that are used in agricultural, automotive, construction, personal hygiene, roofing, carpeting, upholstery, medical products, Others.
Here are some Specific finished product line examples that made out of melt-blown non woven fabric
- Air filters, liquid, and gas filter products
- Masks for medical and industrial use
- Disposable medical equipment – gowns, drapes, shoe coverings, and head coverings
- Sanitary products – sanitary pad and disposable diapers
- Oil, liquid filtration products
- Coffee filters and tea bags
- Artificial turf
- Insulating products
- Disposable disinfectant wipes
Melt blown non woven market size was valued at USD 6.55 Billion in 2019, and is projected to reach USD 13.48 Billion by 2027 and will grow at a CAGR of 9.4 % from 2020 to 2027 , driven by rising demand for filtration products, absorbent products, and medical fabrics.
