_20220318095036Melt blown extrusion is a manufacturing process used to manufacture a non-woven fabric made of polymers such as polypropylene. Traditional fabrics made of natural materials such as cotton are woven together, which means that these materials first form yarns and then are intertwined through the weaving or weaving process, resulting in a layer of fabric from the yarn. Non woven fabrics do not involve connecting yarns by weaving or weaving; Instead, they mechanically, thermally or chemically bond materials made of separated fibers of molten polymers together to form a mesh fabric. The resulting fabric has many ideal properties, including absorption, bacterial barrier, cushioning, filtration, flame retardancy, liquid repellency, resilience, softness, stretch and washability

Non woven fabrics are used for many purposes, such as agriculture, automobiles, construction, personal hygiene, roofs, carpets, interior decoration and medical products. Specific examples of product types that can be manufactured using non-woven fibers include:

Filtration, such as HEPA air filters or liquid and gas filter products

Medical and industrial masks and respirators

Disposable medical clothing, such as robes, curtains, shoe covers and headgear

Sanitary products, such as female sanitary products and disposable diapers

Oil and liquid adsorbents, which contain spills and absorb oil from water

Coffee filter and tea bag

artificial grass

Insulation products

Meat and vegetable packaging tray

Disposable disinfection wipes
