Moving forward and advanced fiber

The commercialization and availability of advanced polypropylene meltblown fiber from the process has been perfected for two years in a new family. These nonwoven fibers have passed independent tests to be 15-25% finer than previously provided. The coil used by the converter produces air and liquid filters, face masks, vacuum packaging bags, etc., which need to retain the combination of particles while allowing air or liquid to easily flow obstructive pollution. 'The expected benefit is that finer fibers provide better filtration performance, usually lower pressure drop and higher pore volume translation to reduce filtration costs,' Roland Griffin, Director of Filtration Technology at Monadnock . 'This will allow users to improve existing products and possibly reduce similar performance costs. '25% reduction in fiber diameter, which has a greater effect on the surface area. When considering co-enhanced surface treatments, such as electrostatic enhancement or the effects of additives, the effective surface area is critical. In this way, the benefits of finer fibers can be mixed and become more profound.
