Disposable Face Mask

A Disposable Face Mask is used to prevent and control infectious respiratory diseases. It is a personal respiratory protection device that should be disposed after one-time use in a trash can. This face mask is worn by healthcare workers to block small-to-large particles droplets, splatter, sprays and splashes that may contain bacteria and viruses, from entering their nose and mouth. It is also worn by an infection person to trap infection-laden exhalation air and protect healthcare providers and others nearby from pathogenic contaminants. It covers the nose and mouth of the wearer and is secured by two ties around the head or a single elastic earloop. 

A 3-ply disposable face mask is made of pleated, laminate structure. The innermost layer that comes in contact with the wearer’s face is made of soft nonwoven, airlaid paper material that is water-resistant. The middle layer is made of melt-blown polypropylene (PP) material that is liquid-resistant and traps body fluid and particulate contaminants. The outermost layer is made of nonwoven PP material that is liquid-resistant and filter barrier layer against liquid particulate contaminants. It is labeled as medical, surgical, isolation and examination mask. It has Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) of more than 95% against infectious particles of size 5.0 μm and larger.
