Adult – Face Masks

• Each layer plays a vital role in preventing liquid droplets and aerosols from passing through and reaching your mouth and nose.
• Layer 1 : Is made of a non-woven water repellent fabric
• Layer 2 : Consists of a melt-blown pp filter used to provide protection from 99% of particles that are greater than 0.3 micrometers.
• Layer 3 : Is made of a non-woven absorbent skin friendly fabric. Its purpose to soak in all loose liquid particles that are exhaled from your nose and mouth.

​Fake masks, unfortunately, replace one of the most important elements of the mask, the filter, with any non-filtering layer. Some fake masks consist of only 2 layers and do not include a filer at all.

• Follow the steps and watch the video below to ensure your mask is protecting you.

1. Cut the mask open & inspect the middle layer

2.  It should appear different than the inner and outer layer

3. Its touch should feel more like light weight paper

4. Carefully using a flame, burn the middle layer

5. A fake mask will catch fire while burning and an original mask will melt and small plastic droplets will fall.
