N95 Mask

The N95 mask is known for its higher degree of respiratory protection against germs, bacteria, viruses or any infectious particles. It is an air-purifying respirator (APR)certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).It is comparatively thicker than any other or surgical mask, and can completely fit around the nose, mouth and cheeks to prevent inhalation of viral particles. It is designed to prevent 95% of small particles from entering your lungs via nose or mouth. It is globally recommended to prevent against viruses, flu and bacteria. N stands non-resistance to oil which means it is used where oil particulates are not present.

An N95 mask, unlike other standard masks, contains a filtration layer inside of it that filters out all infectious particles for which it is made of a fine mesh of synthetic polymer fibers. This type of mask is designed to be disposable or reusable as long as its functional and structural integrity is maintained and the filter-layer material isn’t soiled or physically damaged. At times of raging coronavirus, it provides high-level filtration as compared to surgical or other masks and is tight-fitting and comes in wide range of sizes.
