Meltblown Nonwovens Platform
CETI’s Meltblown Nonwovens platform provides industrial players with pilot and pre-industrial capabilities to develop, optimise and validate Meltblown nonwoven materials.
“The platform enables the production of fine-fiber nonwovens directly from polymers, with a working width of 50 cm, supporting high-performance and application-driven developments.
Designed for applied R&D and pre-industrial validation, this platform supports the development of Meltblown nonwovens under conditions representative of industrial constraints.”
Applications & industrial use cases
The Meltblown Nonwovens platform supports a wide range of industrial development and validation activities.
Development of Meltblown nonwovens with controlled fiber diameter and basis weight
Validation of polymer processability for Meltblown applications
Development of mono-component and bi-component Meltblown nonwoven structures
Optimisation of filtration, barrier and functional properties
Integration of functionalised or innovative polymers
Production of representative Meltblown nonwovens for prototyping, testing and pre-industrial validation
How CETI uses this platform
CETI uses this platform to carry out technical developments and validation work on Meltblown nonwoven materials.
It enables feasibility studies, process optimisation and material qualification under industrially relevant conditions.
The platform is used to produce Meltblown samples for testing, prototyping and pre-industrial validation.
Activities are conducted by expert teams with strong know-how in polymers, Meltblown processes and nonwovens engineering.
The platform supports a wide range of technical services within CETI’s service offerings.
