Basics

  • A Process for Manufacturing Nonwoven Fabric of a very fine nature
  • Used mainly for filters, but also has many other applications
  • Not to be confused with Blow Molding
  • Uses fine nozzles for plastic which are surrounded by high velocity air to essentially atomise it
  • Melt-blown plastic is a material for making N95 masks, or HEPA filters as well.
  • Similar Processes are used for Fiberglass, Basalt Fiber...And Cotton Candy, although this is typically done with a linear, rather than radial output (see the patent section)

Patents

  • Melt-blown plastic, original Exxon patent - [1]
