N95 Mask

What is an N95 Mask?

An N95 mask is a type of respirator designed to achieve a close facial fit and efficient filtration of airborne particles. It filters out at least 95% of very small particles, including dust, bacteria, and viruses. Widely used in medical, industrial, and public health settings, it helps protect against respiratory infections and hazardous substances. The mask is disposable and often used during procedures involving aerosol-generating activities or in environments with high exposure to contaminants.

How N95 Masks Work & Their Filtration Efficiency

N95 ventilation masks are crafted from several layers of non-woven polypropylene fibers. These fibers are spun into a dense, mesh-like structure that works as a mechanical filter. The electrostatic charge applied to the fibers helps attract and capture tiny particles,...
