Liaoyang: Step up production of melt-blown non-woven fabrics to ensure the supply of mask materials

On April 20, in the melt-blown non-woven fabric workshop of PetroChina Liaoyang Petrochemical Company's polyester plant, workers were busy on the melt-blown non-woven production line.

During the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, the demand for masks as an anti-epidemic product has soared, and melt-blown non-woven fabric, one of its raw materials, has also become tight. The employees of PetroChina Liaoyang Petrochemical Company worked continuously, and it took 38 days to build a melt-blown non-woven production line. At present, the company's daily production of melt-blown non-woven fabrics has reached about 4 tons, and it has made every effort to ensure the supply of mask raw materials.
