NSafe mask-Reusable Antimicrobial Mask
With increasing demand for face masks to contain transmission of deadly COVID-19 virus, an IIT-Delhi startup has launched an antimicrobial and washable face mask that can be reused upto 50 launderings.
NSafe mask is a three-layered product. It consists of an inner hydrophilic layer for comfort, the middle layer having antimicrobial activity, and the outermost layer having water and oil repellent behaviour.
NSafe is the first fabric-based antimicrobial face mask launched in India.
NSafe mask has 99.2% bacterial filtration efficiency (at 3 microns) and has very high Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, as tested according to ASTM standards.
The mask is engineered to have very good breathability and comfort
It has been designed to maximize durability and dimensional stability. The mask can be reused 50 times.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, effective reusability is an important factor as single-use masks cause huge disposal issues.
The mask provides extreme comfortability and breathability. Elastic band in the chin region and wire in the nose region provides an adequate fit of the mask to the wearer.
