What is Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric? Key Features and Industrial Applications

Product Info

1. What is Meltblown Fabric?
Meltblown fabric is a type of nonwoven textile produced from polypropylene (PP) or other thermoplastic materials through a process involving high-speed hot air blowing. This process creates extremely fine fibers (with diameters ranging from micrometers to nanometers) that bond together to form a thin, fine fabric sheet.

This manufacturing method gives meltblown fabric a dense structure with tiny pores, making it ideal for filtering fine particles in air or liquids. Additionally, the material’s properties can be functionally enhanced to absorb oil or chemicals as needed.

2. Key Features of Meltblown Fabric
- High Filtration Efficiency: Capable of trapping tiny particles down to PM0.3, including bacteria and viruses
- Fine Structure: Densely packed microfibers increase the surface area for effective filtration
- Lightweight: Despite its high filtration performance, it remains thin and light, making it suitable for wearable products
- Electrostatic Charge Retention: Enhances the capture of small particles through the electret effect
- Non-toxic Material: Made from polypropylene, which is safe and partially biodegradable

3. Applications in Various Industries
- Medical and Hygiene Industry: Used in N95 masks, surgical masks, medical protective clothing, and disinfectant wipes
- Air Filtration Industry: Used in HEPA filters, air conditioner filters, and air purifiers
- Liquid Filtration Industry: Applied in water filters, oil filters, or filters for industrial processes
- Absorbent Industry: Used for oil-absorbing sheets or hazardous liquid absorbents
- Cosmetic and Personal Care Industry: Used in makeup remover wipes and facial mask sheets

4. Considerations When Choosing Meltblown Fabric
Users should assess fiber quality, pore uniformity, air resistance levels, and electrostatic retention properties, all of which directly affect filtration performance.

Selecting a supplier with standardized manufacturing processes and strict quality control is crucial for industrial applications.
