Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric: The "Heart" of Masks

Meltblown nonwoven fabric, as the core filtering layer of masks, uses polypropylene as the main raw material and has a fiber diameter of 1-5 microns. This unique capillary structure gives meltblown fabric excellent performance in filtration, shielding, thermal insulation, and oil absorption.

The Indispensable Role of Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric

In mask production, meltblown fabric plays a crucial role. Medical surgical masks and N95 masks usually use a multi-layer structure, with the meltblown layer being a key component. This specially treated meltblown nonwoven fabric not only has excellent filtration properties but can also effectively block droplets expelled by patients, protecting the health of medical personnel and the public.

It is worth noting that although both the spunbond layer and the meltblown layer of the mask belong to nonwoven fabric and have the same raw materials, their manufacturing processes are vastly different. The fiber diameter of the spunbond layer is relatively coarse, about 20 microns, while the fiber diameter of the meltblown layer is only 2 microns, made from carefully crafted high melt-flow index polypropylene material. This fine process difference further proves the indispensable role of meltblown nonwoven fabric in mask production.

The Anti-virus Effect of Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric Masks

Meltblown nonwoven fabric masks are ordinary medical masks, mainly used to filter tiny substances such as bacteria, viruses, and dust in the air. The protective effect of meltblown fabric is relatively good, effectively filtering small particles such as dust, pollen, and viruses in the air, thereby providing protection.

How to Use Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric Masks

• First, we need to ensure the mask is worn correctly. The metal strip of the mask should be close to the bridge of the nose, with no gaps.

• When wearing the mask, you should avoid touching the inside or outside surface of the mask with your hands, as these surfaces may have various microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses.

• The usage time of the mask should generally not exceed 4 hours. If the mask becomes stained or damp, it needs to be replaced.

Precautions

• Meltblown nonwoven fabric masks are only for filtering out viruses and microorganisms in the air and cannot fully protect the body from viral invasion.

• The usage time of the mask should generally not exceed 4 hours, as prolonged use will reduce its filtration effectiveness.

• The protective level of the mask varies with its material. Therefore, when choosing a mask, you should select an appropriate one according to your actual needs and usage scenarios.

Meltblown nonwoven fabric masks perform better than ordinary masks in filtering microorganisms and tiny particles such as viruses. Correctly wearing and reasonably using the mask are effective measures to protect yourself and others, but attention must also be paid to mask selection and usage duration, among other issues.
