The global spread of the epidemic is intensifying, and the global shortage of epidemic prevention materials has caused large fluctuations in the market prices of upstream and downstream industries. For example, the price of meltblown cloth, the core raw material for the production of masks, is almost one price per day. The demand and sales of meltblown cloth spread throughout the entire textile and clothing industry. Industrial chain!

Under the epidemic situation, the gap of meltblown cloth reached its peak. From the previous 20,000 to 650,000, then dropped from 650,000 to 150,000, and now rebounded from 150,000 to 500,000.

Following the second round of rising prices of melt blown cloth, the price of hot air cotton, another material for masks, has also reached its peak.

What is hot air cotton?

Hot-air cotton non-woven fabric, also known as hot-air cotton and tuyere cotton, is made of ES and low-melting fiber after heating and synthesis, so it is also one of the synthetic fiber filter cotton.

Hot air cotton non-woven fabric is a kind of filling material in N95 masks. In order to take into account the effects of warmth and protection, some manufacturers use hot-air cotton non-woven fabrics with high bulkiness, good elasticity, soft touch, strong warmth retention, and good air permeability and water permeability to sandwich N95 folding masks, which mainly play the role of primary filter and heat preservation. Heat insulation, moisture-proof and moisture-proof, etc., and improve the comfort of the wearer.

Although the hot-air cotton non-woven fabric is a filter material, its filtration level can only reach the primary filter. Therefore, it cannot replace the "heart" of the N95 mask, the melt-blown cloth.

As hot air cotton is in short supply, its raw material, ES fiber, has also become a hot commodity!

The price rose from 8,000-9,000 yuan/ton before the festival to 15,000-16,000 yuan/ton, and even 30,000 yuan/ton.

What is ES fiber, why is it suddenly popular?

ES fiber: first developed by Chisso Corporation of Japan, it is a new type of composite fiber based on polyolefin. The fiber mainly has a skin-core structure, the skin layer has a low melting point and good flexibility, and the core layer has a high melting point and high strength. The main raw material of hot air cotton (wind cotton) is ES fiber.

According to different raw materials, ES fibers currently on the market are mainly divided into PE/PP and PE/PET, and the product specifications are mainly 1.5~6D.

At present, the market has two opinions about the popularity of ES:

1. The inner layer of N95 masks contains a layer of hot-air non-woven fabric, and the increase in demand for outer orders has led to a sharp increase in the demand for ES;

2. The price of melt-blown non-woven fabrics is relatively expensive, and the replacement of melt-blown fabrics with hot-air non-woven fabrics has led to a surge in demand. The current price of melt-blown fabric is 300,000 yuan/ton. Relatively speaking, the price of hot-air non-woven fabrics was 20,000 yuan/ton before the price increase, rising to 70,000-80,000 yuan/ton, and even 120,000-150,000 yuan / ton. However, the price is still lower than that of melt blown cloth.
