LEEDS, UK, May 10, 2021-

Nonwoven Innovation & Research Institute (NIRI) has recently completed an upgrade to their existing meltblown system, installing new equipment and expanding their extensive facilities to further help clients across a whole host of applications. The state-of-the-art meltblown system will be of particular relevance for R&D; pilot projects; sampling and prototyping; proof of concept testing, as well as designing cost-effective products.

The availability of meltblown technology has been high on the nonwoven agenda over the last year given its critical usage in medical grade textiles throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, including Type II and Type IIR face masks, FFP2, FFP3 and N95 respirators, and PPE more generally.  NIRI’s upgraded laboratory and pilot system from Fibre Extrusion Technology (FET) is capable of processing a wide range of polymer types often involving difficult-to-process materials, including standard polymers; engineering polymers; high temperature polymers; corrosive and aggressive polymers, as well as sustainable and biomedical polymers.
