Product type
Medical meltblown fabric is a type of non-woven fabric made from thermoplastic polymers, primarily polypropylene. It is produced through a process that involves melting the polymer and extruding it through fine nozzles, creating a web of microfibers. This fabric is known for its excellent filtration properties, making it ideal for use in medical applications such as masks, gowns, and other protective garments.
| Material | Polypropylene |
| Fabric weight | 20 to 80 grams per square meter (gsm) |
| Filtration efficiency | BFE > 95% for surgical masks |
| Thickness | 0.5 to 3.0 mm |
| Width | 1 to 2.5 meters |
When selecting medical meltblown fabric, buyers should consider the specific application requirements, such as filtration efficiency and fabric weight. It is important to specify the desired thickness, width, and any necessary certifications for medical use. Additionally, understanding the quantity needed for production runs can help in obtaining accurate quotes from suppliers.
