An extrusion die for meltblowing molten polymers having a row of die orifices
each having at least two separate polymer supply ports entering from an entrance
portion of the die, each of the polymer supply ports communicating with separate
rows of extrusion capillaries having exit openings at an exit portion of the die,
gas supply ports entering from the entrance portion of the die and arranged laterally
to the polymer supply ports, the gas supply ports communicating with gas jets extending
through the die and arranged laterally to the exit openings of the extrusion capillaries,
wherein the rows of extrusion capillary exit openings and the gas jets communicate
with a blowing orifice in the exit portion of the die.
