Market Scope & Segmentation

Melt-blown nonwoven fabrics are basically made up of thermoplastic synthetic polymers by using a single-step process i.e., melt-blown spinning process which transforms polymer chips or granules as a raw material into the randomly-laid fiber web structures. They are made directly from the polymer stage to randomly-laid nonwoven fabrics.
