Technology / product information

Advanced meltblown nonwoven production with ultrafine fiber precision. Customizable, high-quality fabric for filtration, hygiene, and electronics.

Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric Production
Meltblown nonwoven fabric is produced using ultrafine fiber technology that combines precision engineering with decades of expertise. With over 40 years of meltblown experience, the process ensures stable, high-performance nonwoven fabric for a wide range of industrial applications, from filtration to hygiene and electronics.

Meltblown Fabric Manufacturing Process
The meltblown method is a one-step, high-precision process that produces nonwoven fabric with fine, uniform fiber structures. Tapyrus’s system provides controlled, repeatable quality through the following steps:
1. Resin Melting – Thermoplastic resin (e.g., polypropylene) is melted and extruded through precision nozzles.
2. Ultrafine Fiber Formation – High-pressure, high-temperature air stretches the resin into fibers <1µm in diameter.
3. Web Formation – Fibers accumulate on a conveyor belt, creating a consistent nonwoven sheet.
4. Inspection – Quality control ensures uniformity and removes foreign particles.
5. Winding & Measurement – Rolls are cut and inspected for thickness, basis weight, and width.
6. Processing & Finishing – Calendaring, slitting, or other treatments tailor the fabric to customer specifications.
7. Storage & Delivery – Finished rolls are stored and shipped under controlled conditions.

Historical Background
Meltblown technology originated in the 1940s and was introduced to Japan in 1974 by the Exxon Group. Since then, Tapyrus has advanced the process with proprietary systems and accumulated expertise, supporting both mass production and small-lot custom runs for specialized industries.

Industrial Applications
Meltblown nonwoven fabric is widely applied across sectors where ultrafine filtration, cleanliness, and consistency are critical:
- Medical & Hygiene – Surgical masks, medical gowns, hygiene products
- Air & Liquid Filtration – HEPA filters, industrial liquid separation
- Electronics – Cleanroom wipes, precision process filters
- Automotive & Industrial – Cabin filters, protective layers, insulation

Why Meltblown Matters
The meltblown process enables the creation of fabrics with exceptional particle capture, softness, and uniformity, unmatched by traditional textile methods. Tapyrus’s in-house technology and long-standing expertise ensure reliable solutions for industries requiring high-specification nonwoven materials.
