What is Meltblown Nonwoven?
Meltblown nonwoven is an ultra-fine fiber fabric produced by extruding molten polymers through fine nozzles and attenuating them with high-velocity hot air. This manufacturing method yields a fiber web with superior filtration capabilities. At Yiting, we primarily apply meltblown technology to high-performance filter media, focusing on processed food filters and medical-grade materials.
How is Meltblown Nonwoven Manufactured?
- Polymer Melting: Thermoplastic polymers, such as polypropylene (PP), are heated in an extruder until they reach a molten, viscous state.
- Extrusion: The molten polymer is extruded through a die head equipped with numerous fine nozzles.
- Fiber Formation: High-speed, high-temperature air streams blow and stretch the molten polymer into ultra-fine fibers, typically with diameters of about 1–5 microns.
- Cooling and Web Formation: The fine fibers cool rapidly and are deposited onto a moving collector belt, forming a uniform fiber web.
- Web Bonding: The collected fiber web is lightly pressed and shaped to achieve the desired thickness and strength. Yiting utilizes precision-controlled dies and advanced airflow systems to guarantee consistent fiber quality and optimal filtration performance.
