20. • Melt Blown Process was initiated in 1951 by the US Navel
Research laboratories in an effort to develop organic microfibres of
less than 1µm in diameter.
• Melt-blown micro Fibers are generally have diameters in the range
of 2 to 4 μm.
• Basic process involved in melt blowing is one-step process in which
high-velocity air blows a molten thermoplastic resin from an
extruder die tip onto a conveyor or take-up screen to form a fine
fibrous and self-bonding web

25. PPE, including goggles, face shields, masks, gloves, coveralls
or gowns, head covers and shoe covers, are all made of plastic
and reduce the risk of the person using them from contracting
an infection.
The sudden rise in COVID-19 cases has created increased
demand for temporary hospital facilities throughout the world.
As cities establish alternative medical care sites in convention
centres, hotels, and sports arenas, plastic sheet and film
materials are required to build critical medical equipment,
examination rooms, and patient ward rooms. Plastics are also
used for windows, guards, and splash protection face shields.
