APPLICATIONS

The melt-blown system is unique because the process generates a fine fiber not available to the other nonwoven processes. Micro-denier fiber (less than 0.1 denier per filament) is not really available as a nonwoven fibrous raw material. Hence, the melt-blown process, which can produce such a fiber, opens new vistas of products and applications. At the present time, the following market segments are successfully served by melt-blown products:

1) Filtration media

This market segment continues to be the largest single application. The best known application is the surgical face mask filter media. The applications include both liquid filtration and gaseous filtration. Some of them are found in cartridge filters, clean room filters and others.

2) Medical fabrics

The second largest MB market is in medical/surgical applications. The major segments are disposable gown and drape market and sterilization wrap segment.

3) Sanitary products

MB products are used in three types of sanitary protection products - feminine sanitary napkin, Spunbond-MB diaper top sheet, and disposable adult incontinence absorbent products.

4) Oil adsorbents

MB materials in variety of physical forms are designed to pick up oily materials. The best known application is the use of sorbents to pick up oil from the surface of water, such as encountered in an accidental oil spill and for mats in machine shops and in industrial plants.
