Meltblown nonwoven is the core material of masks, mainly made of polypropylene, and the fiber diameter can reach 1-5 micrometers. It has many voids, a loose structure, good anti-wrinkle ability, and a unique capillary structure of microfibers, which increases the number and surface area of fibers per unit area, making meltblown non woven have good filtration, shielding, insulation, and oil absorption properties. It can be used in fields such as air and liquid filtration materials, isolation materials, absorbent materials, mask materials, thermal insulation materials, oil absorbent materials, and wiping cloths.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, in addition to existing mask companies actively increasing production capacity and investing in new production lines to expand production capacity, a large number of new mask production capacities have emerged in the market. This situation will inevitably intensify the domestic shortage of raw material supply. With the participation of more than 3,000 companies including Sinopec, BYD, and Foxconn in the mask production, mask production has entered an accelerated stage. However, due to the impact of meltblown nonwoven supply, mask manufacturers across the country are facing a shortage of raw materials.
The price of meltblown nonwoven fabric continues to rise, and according
