Meltblown Fabric Tests - Protective Clothing Against Infective Agents (EN 14126)

After Meltblown fabrics were invented, this material was considered a revolution in the production of personal protective equipment. These fabrics have excellent liquid, especially oil retention, and have penetration suppression and excellent ventilation properties. This protective clothing material comprises at least one spunbonded nonwoven fabric layer with an olefin resin as the main component and a meltblown nonwoven fabric layer. The spunbond non-woven fabric layer is produced from fibers with an average fiber diameter of 18-30 μm and has a thickness of 150-300 μm. The meltblown nonwoven fabric layer is produced from fibers with an average fiber diameter of 3-8 μm and has a thickness of 100-200 μm.

Meltblown Fabric Tests - Protective Clothing Against Infective Agents (EN 14126)

Meltblown fabrics have an aerosol filter function or a particle filter function. It is a layer filter material that has a protective function especially against chemical, biological or chemical harmful and toxic substances. Leaf filter media are particularly suitable for producing protective equipment, protective materials, sports and daily wear, and all types of filters and filter materials.

Today, the personal protective equipment produced in three layers as spunbond + meltblown + spunbond is a material obtained by combining fragile and extremely thin meltblown polypropylene layers (meltblown) and two polypropylene spunbond layers as a barrier layer. The thickness of the barrier layer is 0,1mm. Thanks to its very large pores, this material is highly permeable to air and water vapor, but provides a less effective particle barrier than other materials.

The tests of meltblown fabric protective clothing against infective agents also comply with the European standard EN 14126. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: TS EN 14126 Protective clothing - Against pathogenic organisms - Performance characteristics and test methods.

In this standard, the requirements for all textile products, including meltblown materials, are explained and their protection power against infective agents is determined. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recognizes bacteria, viruses, fungi, other microorganisms and their associated toxins as biological agents. These counts, in terms of human health, from simple allergic reactions to fatal conditions. It causes various negative effects.

Our organization, among numerous testing, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, within the framework of national and international standards, against infective agents in accordance with EN 14126 standard within the scope of meltblown fabric testing services. provides protective clothing testing services.
