In recent days, many people in the circle of friends have warned: Meltblown cloth cannot be sold!
The person in charge of a non-woven company in Yangzhong Economic Development Zone told Cyberland Instruments: “Including manufacturers and middlemen, at least 20 people have come to see me in the past few days. , saying that melt-blown cloth cannot be sold, let me think of ways to find resources. There are still people in the market who want melt-blown cloth with guaranteed quality, but those with poor quality cannot be sold at all.”
Many manufacturers bought “local machines” and started producing, but the quality was simply not up to par, and now no one wants the goods; many middlemen accept cloth regardless of quality, and now they can’t sell it.
The quality of melt-blown cloth on the market is uneven. In early April, no matter what quality level, it can be sold for more than 500,000. , now the goods with poor quality can no longer be sold. Exported masks have stricter quality requirements, and customs are also very strict in their review. It can be said that masks produced from inferior melt-blown cloth are basically circulated in the domestic market.
Many people believe that this wave of price cuts for meltblown fabrics is related to the strong rectification by regulatory authorities.
On April 26, Gan Lin, director of the Office of the National Leading Group for Combating Infringement and Counterfeiting and Deputy Director of the State Administration for Market Regulation, introduced at a press conference of the State Council Information Office that crackdown on illegal production and sales Since the launch of the special campaign for masks and other protective equipment, 89.046 million defective masks have been seized.
Relevant people from a medical consumables production company in Changyuan, Henan Province said: Because Yangzhong City, Jiangsu Province implemented “shock therapy” on the melt-blown cloth industry-the business was suspended. During the rectification, many unlicensed operators from Yangzhong tried their best to bring the machines to Changyuan and sell them at low prices, so that mask factories with meltblown cloth production qualifications could produce and sell their own masks. Some leading companies in Changyuan, which have relevant business licenses, have now begun to attract investment.
Yangzhong, known as the “Hometown of Meltblown Fabrics”, just experienced a city-wide production suspension for rectification in the middle of the month. On April 22, the reporter drove to Huancheng South Road in Yangzhong City. Although the production of melt-blown cloth has been suspended locally for many days, signs of the production and sale of melt-blown cloth can still be seen everywhere.

Because Yangzhong implemented “shock therapy” in the melt-blown cloth industry throughout the city, and many vendors adopted guerrilla transfer strategies. According to informed sources, on April 15, after the government suspended the production of melt-blown cloth, In two days, 60,000 meltblown cloth production machines in Yangzhong City were moved to surrounding areas.
The hot market for melt-blown cloth lasted for nearly a month. In late April, WeChat Moments began to sell mask machines and melt-blown machines. After a wave of defectors withdrew, the market was left with There are only cut leeks.
The “Editor” has something to say:
Although the international crude oil market has An agreement was reached to reduce production, but the production reduction is less than expected. Coupled with the recent sluggish demand and market fluctuations, downstream polypropylene futures prices have begun to return, and there is almost no possibility that polypropylene will rise sharply.
The country has launched a heavy blow and directed the supply of melt-blown fabrics to prevent middlemen from hoarding and speculating and profiting from the price difference. The cooling of melt-blown fabrics has begun! The chaotic market of meltblown cloth will eventually stop, and quality is the cornerstone that determines the continued development of the company. </p
