What is Meltblown Nonwoven?
Meltblown nonwoven is a fine-fiber nonwoven fabric made by extruding molten polymers through tiny nozzles and attenuating them with high-speed hot air. This results in a web of ultra-fine fibers with excellent filtration properties. At Yiting, meltblown is primarily used for high-performance filter media in coffee filters,tea pouches , and medical-grade materials.
How is Meltblown Nonwoven Made?
The meltblown process consists of:
Polymer Feeding & Melting– Polymers like polypropylene are melted to a specific viscosity.
Extrusion through Die– The molten polymer is extruded through micro nozzles.
Air Attenuation– High-speed hot air stretches the fibers into micro- and nano-scale diameters.
Web Formation– The fine fibers are deposited onto a conveyor to form a uniform web.
Yiting uses precision-controlled dies and airflow systems to ensure fiber consistency and filtration efficiency.
Material Characteristics & Technical Advantages
Meltblown nonwoven features:
- Extremely fine fiber diameter (1–5 microns)
- Superior filtration efficiency (dust, bacteria, particles)
- Soft, drapable texture
- Electret-treated for enhanced static filtration
- Available in biodegradable versions upon request
Ideal for single-use filters and barrier applications.
