Meltblown Fabric

Research and Markets has added a new report—Meltblown/Microfiber Electrostatically Charged Nonwovens and Nanofiber Filter Media-Worldwide—to its offering. The total capacity/production of meltblown microfiber worldwide, according to this report, amounts to approximately 345 million pounds or 157,000 tons. Filtration represents worldwide approximately 34% or 115 million pounds/53,000 tons of this market. The estimate of meltblown materials is difficult because of the discrepancies between capacity and production and the great difference of yield in the meltblown process.
