PP Melt Blown Fabric: Process Description and Why its Demand is Increasing in India
The melt blown process i s a non-woven manufacturing system that involves the direct conversion of a polymer into continuous filaments. Development in this field of technology in the industrial area started around 1945. It is used to fabricate a type of textile known as non-woven fabric made from polypropylene (PP) . Thus the name ‘ PP melt blown fabric ’. Usage of polypropylene increased because of its good air permeability, zero chemicals, and thermal bondage. It also possesses excellent bidirectional machine direction/cross direction tensile strength and tear properties. The non-woven f a brics are mechanically, thermally, or chemically bound together with material created from separate fibres of molten polymers forming a web-like fabric. Melt Blown Process Description A typical melt-blown process consists of the following elements: Extruder: An extruder is a machine that extrudes metal, plastic or clay through a die. It is used in the ...
