PP Meltblown Nonwovens are a type of synthetic fiber material produced by extruding thermoplastic resins through a series of heated dies under high pressure. The end result is a very fine fiber with a diameter of about 30 microns. PP meltblown nonwovens can be used in many industries because they have different properties than many traditional fibers such as cotton. They are more flexible, durable, stain resistant and resilient than other fabrics. In addition to their strength, they also have an open structure that gives them excellent filtering properties. For this reason, they are one of the most widely used materials on the market today for industrial applications such as food packaging, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and chemical processing.
Apex PP Meltblown products offer high efficiency in the filtration market. By forming microfibers in high-end filter media, Apex allows the ultimate filtration properties with superior air permeability and a soft nature on objects. We are able to offer smooth or calendered end according to customer demand. Classic main applications are in filtration, insulation, as wipes and also in healthcare.
Meltblown nonwovens can be used in a variety of industries. They are commonly used as linings for food packaging, production and storage containers. They are also useful in the manufacture of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and in chemical processing. This is because they can be woven into fibers that can be used to make thick fabrics or films. One of the best applications of these materials is in the automotive industry, where they are ideal as anti-vortex air filters. As air passes through the filter, it picks up larger particles, which then fall to the bottom and prevent dust from entering the engine compartment. Another classic application of this nonwoven is in masks thanks to its filtering properties.
