Q. How does the mask work and what is it made of?
A. The  mask filter blocks particulates such as PM 2.5. Multi-layering of he fabric combined with the filter meets N99 standard, filtering particles as small as PM0.3. The multi-layer blown molding process begins with melting down the polymer and forming it into a ball of liquid. High velocity air is then passed through to attenuate the filaments and create a fibrous web. The random fiber orientation is advantageous because it creates a better mesh to trap particles. The textile is also created with a high surface area, meaning a greater percentage of particulates are captured as they pass through the filter.
