Melt Blown Nonwoven fabrics, similar to Spunbond fabrics, obtained by continuous filaments extruded polymers through special spinnerets. Basic characteristics of the Melt Blown fabrics are: softness, elasticity, wettability, chemical resistance of formed fibers and many other related properties, too.
Melt Blown microfibers generally have diameters in the range of 2 to 4 µm, although they may be as small as 0.1 µm and as large as 10 to 15 µm. It is one of the most recent and innovative nonwoven processes, and it is usually used for the production of microfibers. Degree of opacity, cover, softness and porosity are the main differences between traditional nonwoven articles and melt blown nonwoven articles.
Melt Blown fabrics and products serve a lot of market segments in a successful way. For example, a very large Melt Blown market is represented bymedical and surgical: sterilization wraps are among the products that can be realized with this system. Filtration media is another market segment which proves to be very relevant: the most recognized application can be considered the surgical face mask filter media, but there are gaseous filtration and liquid filtration, too, for example, disposable adult incontinence absorbent products or feminine sanitary napkin. Finally, the apparel applications of melt blown solutions deserve to be mentioned, too, in the segments of disposable industrial apparel and thermal insulation.

Turnkey Melt Blown Plants
ENTECH offers to its customers Competence, Experience, Know-How, Professionalism and Precision. The company Designs, Supplies and Installs complete Turnkey Melt Blown Plants on the base of Advanced Technologies to guarantee higher standards of quality, higher production speeds, increased efficiency, lower production costs and stable process.
Melt blown technology offers a lot of advantages, such as the possibility of handling various polymers or a mixture of polymers. Melt blown fibers are characterized by a smooth surface texture and a random fiber orientation. Melt blowing can employ a lot of resins and polymers, which determine the softness, the elasticity, the wettability, the chemical resistance of formed fibers and many other related properties, too.
In the Turnkey Melt Blown Plants a lot of polymers can be melt blown, such as Polypropylene, which has the peculiarity of making good web and being easy to process. The best polymer for a fluffy and soft material with no shot defects, however, is polystyrene. Our company ensures, for installation of Turnkey Melt Blown Plants , the highest standards of quality, that are the result of our experience, our competence, our passion and our versatility.
