Notes:
A stream of unheated crossflow air has been used to make finer melt-blown fibers. Not only are smaller average fiber diameters obtained, but the variation in fiber diameter is smaller. The use of this technique can allow the production of melt-blown nonwovens, which have finer fibers and more uniform webs. Since unheated air is used in the crossflow jet, the fiber enhancement in terms of finer, stronger fibers can be achieved with an energy savings by substituting unheated crossflow air for a portion of the primary air.
