During the Covid 19 pandemic, face masks have become the topic of everyday conversation and have been mass-produced in volume and sold across the world.

Every company is trying their hardest putting forward various production techniques in order to manufacture a compliant, high quality mask that can cope with Covid19.

From all the techniques seen, Meltblown is the process that has gained quite an interest in the mask-making industry.

What is Non-Woven Meltblown?

Melt Blown is a non woven manufacturing system.

It is manufactured conventionally by converting polymers into nonwoven microfilaments.

With the help of melt blowing process, two layers of different fabrics are combined and woven together.

The fibres are combined in a process of tangling and sticking together at speed.

What are Layers in a Face Mask?

Polypropylene is the material that is melt blown to produce Surgical or Medical face masks and respirator masks.

Face masks essentially consist of three layers; outer, middle, and inner.

It is the middle layer, which is primarily made up of melt blown polypropylene.
