Have you ever thought that the water you drink, the oil you use, and even the masks you wear every day all rely on a magical material?
It is hidden in our lives, but few people know its name. It is not a high-tech chip or artificial intelligence, but it is an indispensable part of our lives. It is – meltblown non-woven fabric.
Today, let’s talk about this ‘invisible hero’, how it uses fibers thinner than a hair to protect our health, and even affects multiple fields such as industry, medicine, and environmental protection.
How thin is a fiber? So detailed that you can’t even imagine!
You may have heard of the word ‘nano’, but do you know? The fiber diameter of meltblown non-woven fabric can reach 1-5 microns, while the diameter of human hair strands is approximately 50-100 microns. In other words, the thickness of one hair strand can accommodate 20 meltblown fibers!
It’s like weaving a web with spider silk, but it can block dust, bacteria, and even viruses.
Liquid filtration? It is an ‘invisible master’
You may think that filtering is just using a net to block dirty things, but in fact, it’s far from that simple.
In liquid filtration, such as aquariums, pharmaceutical filtration, and industrial oil purification, the enemy we face is not large impurities, but particles of 0.22 microns, 1 micron, or even smaller. These tiny particles are invisible to the naked eye, but long-term accumulation can cause fatal harm to the human body or equipment.
At this moment, the ‘magic’ of meltblown non-woven fabric comes.
Meltblown fabric is the main raw material for liquid filter cartridges
It does not rely on “mesh” interception, but on the electrostatic and physical adsorption between fibers to firmly grasp those tiny pollutants. Just like how you use a magnet to hold iron filings, but this ‘magnet’ is composed of countless fibers as thin as hair strands.
Why meltblown non-woven fabric? Where is the advantage exactly?
We are a manufacturer of meltblown non-woven fabrics, and of course, we are not boasting about ourselves. Its advantages speak through data.
- High filtration efficiency: The fibers of meltblown fabric are extremely fine, with a large specific surface area, which can capture more tiny particles.
- Breathable and dust-proof: It allows liquids to pass smoothly while firmly locking in impurities.
- Corrosion and high temperature resistance: In industrial oil filtration, it can withstand high temperatures and chemical corrosion while maintaining stable performance.
- Cost controllable: Compared to other high-precision filter materials, meltblown fabric has a very high cost-effectiveness.
For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, 0.22 microns is the “lifeline” for bacteria. Meltblown non-woven fabric combined with other materials can easily achieve this level of filtration accuracy, ensuring infusion safety.
