Melt blowing is a technique used for the manufacture of thin sheets of nonwoven fibers. It is a method by which polymer melt is extruded out through tiny nozzles and subjected to high-speed blowing gas. Due to presence of gas, the extruded polymer forms a nonwoven polymer sheet. Different polymers are used as raw materials in the process of melt blowing. The process starts with a polymer resin and ends with a finished, self-bonded fabric with superior properties.

In a meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) held on December 31, 2015, Finance Secretary Waqar Masood Khan commented that decline in the export of cotton cloth despite enjoying cheaper electricity and gas was not justifiable and called for investigating the matter in order to determine the actual consumption of cotton yarn by the textile mills.

Finance Minister and ECC Chairman Ishaq Dar also suggested further analysis of the data to find out the actual reasons and factors responsible for the drop in exports.
