Efficient Oil-Absorbing Material – Medlong Meltblown Nonwoven

Urgent Demand for Marine Oil Spill Governance

In the wave of globalization, offshore oil development is flourishing. While fueling economic growth, frequent oil spill accidents pose a severe threat to marine ecology. Thus, the remediation of marine oil pollution brooks no delay. Traditional oil-absorbing materials, with their poor oil absorption capacity and oil retention performance, struggle to meet the demands of oil spill cleanup. Nowadays, technological advancements have been driving innovation and enhancing oil absorption efficiency, making Melt-blown technology hold broad application prospects in marine and industrial oil spill treatment fields.

Breakthrough in Melt-blown Technology

Melt-blown technology enables the efficient and continuous production of Micro-nano scale ultrafine fibers. Polymers are heated to a molten state and then extruded through spinnerets. The polymer jets stretch and solidify into fibers in a cooling medium, and subsequently interlace and stack to form three-dimensional porous Nonwoven fabrics. This unique processing endows the material with ultra-high porosity and a large specific surface area, significantly boosting the oil absorption efficiency and oil storage capacity. As a representative of melt spinning, the Meltblown process is widely used in manufacturing oil-absorbing pads for offshore oil spill cleanup. Its polypropylene Meltblown products feature excellent oil-water selectivity, rapid oil absorption speed, and an oil absorption capacity ranging from 20 to 50 g/g. Moreover, due to their light specific gravity, they can float on the water surface for a long time, making them the mainstream oil-absorbing materials at present.

Medlong Meltblown: A Practical Solution

Over the past 24 years, JoFo Filtration has been committed to innovation and development, researching and preparing oleophilic and hydrophobic ultrafine fibers – Medlong Meltblown for marine oil spill treatment. With its high oil absorption efficiency, rapid response, and simple operation, it has become a practical choice for large-scale offshore and deep-sea oil spill handling, providing an effective way to combat marine oil spill pollution and safeguard the marine ecosystem.

Versatile Applications of Medlong Meltblown

Thanks to the microporous structure and hydrophobicity of its fabric, Medlong Meltblown is an ideal oil-absorbing material. It can absorb oil dozens of times its own weight, with a fast oil absorption speed and no deformation after long-term oil absorption. It has excellent oil-water displacement performance, is reusable, and can be stored for a long time. It is widely used as an adsorbent material for equipment oil spill treatment, marine environmental protection, sewage treatment, and other oil spill pollution remediation. Currently, specific laws and regulations mandate that ships and ports be equipped with a certain amount of Meltblown Nonwoven oil-absorbing materials to prevent oil spills and handle them promptly to avert environmental pollution. It is commonly applied in products like oil-absorbing pads, grids, tapes, and even household oil-absorbing products are gradually being promoted.
