FAQ
-
Will this mask prevent COVID-19?While no mask can guarantee complete prevention of exposure to Covid-19 or any other virus, mPactAir99’s NanoscreenTM Mask has been tested by Nelson Laboratories, a leading provider of microbiological and viral testing and analysis. In testing, our mask proved effective at stopping over 99% of airborne particulates and pathogens down to 3 µm.
-
What is BMT Nanoscreen™?BMT NanoScreenTM PPE Safety Mask fabrics are functional, high performing filtration fabrics used to produce reusable / washable personal protective safety masks that balance genuine filtration efficiency with comfortable breathability. BMT VirusGuard blocks and restrict a large range of droplets carrying virus and bacteria as well as pollen, allergens, fly ash, agricultural, and coal dust.
-
Are there any safety concerns?Our mask is composed of a microscopic NanoscreenTM matrix sealed between two layers of inert backing material. This NanoscreenTM matrix is made up of several very, very long fibers weaved tougher. It’s not nanofiber particles – so there are no “pieces” that can be inhaled.
-
How is the mask tested?Our mask is ASTM F2100 tested for viral and bacterial efficiency by Nelson Laboratories, a leading independent testing agency. In testing, the BMT Nanoscreen™ Defense filtration technology filtered over 99% of all airborne particulates and pathogens at 3 µm while being twice as breathable as the N95.
-
How long is the mask good for?The mask is good for extended use with proper care, up to 60 washes!
-
Can can I clean my mask?Mask is hand washable with mild soap and water / hand rinse / air dry / do not squeeze or scrub.
-
What is the difference between a cloth mask and the mPact mask?Studies show that simple cloth masks and masks without filtration technology do not stop viruses or bacteria. Viruses and bacteria are thousands of times smaller than the strands of cotton or synthetic thread in home made cloth or non-filter masks, allowing airborne particles to pass directly though. BMT VirusGuard™ blocks and restrict a wide range of airborne droplets carrying virus and bacteria as well as pollen, allergens, fly ash, agrictulrual, coal dust.
-
Will the mask cause my glasses to fog up?With our unique design and adjustable noseband, your breath should pass directly through the mask and not into your glasses. If you experience fogging, adjust your noseband to ensure a tight seal between your nose and cheeks.
-
Are these masks less effective because I can see through them?No. Nanofibers allow light through while still protecting you from harmful viruses and pollutants. What you see is a reflection of light, but in no way reduces the effectiveness.
